Isaiah 59:19: So shall they fear the name of the Lord, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Help, eternal Spirit Divine,
And stem the tide of sin;
Lo, our enemy and Thine
Is as a flood come in:
In these last apostate days
Out of his mouth the Dragon pours
Rapid streams of wickedness.
And hell Thy cinirch devours.
Spirit of faith, the cross lift up;
By Jesus on the tree
Sin and Satan's progress stop.
And end the' apostasy:
Jesus to the world reveal
The sole, supreme, expiring God,
Cast the' Accuser down to hell
Through His victorious blood.
Then mankind shall magnify
The great incarnate Word,
Fear that Name of God most high,
That Glory of the Lord;
Every joyful tongue shall sing
Jehovah shining in the Son,
Christ, the universal King
On His millennial throne!
