Religion
1 Samuel 2:9, 10: Not all the powers of earth and hell
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Not all the powers of earth and hell
Shall against Jesu's church prevail,
Who bruises with His iron rod
The world, and their infernal god;
The stubborn He in pieces breaks,
But peace to prostrate rebels speaks,
And stretches o'er the faithful race
The golden sceptre of His grace.
