Hymns on the Trinity, 100
From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
Verse 20. And They took his glory from him.
His kingdom was the gift of God,
His glory the Most High bestow'd;
And the proud monarch to rebuke,
They, They from him the glory took,
The three inexplicably One
"Concurr'd to cast him from his throne.
Our God, whom One in Three we praise,
Can still the arrogant abase,
Can vindicate His truth denied
By all the towering sons of pride,
And bring them down with beasts to dwell.
Or level with the fiends of hell.
