Upon Notice Sent One that His House Was Marked

In vain doth the assassin dark
This house for desolation mark,
Protected by the scarlet sign,
Already mark'd with blood Divine;
His idle threatenings we defy,
For the destroyer must pass by.

The Lord most high is our defence,
Our trust is in Omnipotence;
His name our adamantine tower;
Jehovah's wisdom, truth and power,
Jesus, beneath Thy shade, we dwell,
And laugh at all the leagues of hell.
