HYMN VII. 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.
