[The powers that did from Chittim come]
And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, &c.
—xxiv. 24.
The powers that did from Chittim come,
O'erran and deluged all the East:
The' avenging arms of pagan Rome
Eber's degenerate sons oppress'd,
Slaughter'd, or chased through earth abroad
Those murderers of incarnate God.
O'erran and deluged all the East:
The' avenging arms of pagan Rome
Eber's degenerate sons oppress'd,
86
Those murderers of incarnate God.
While Satan fills the' unerring chair,
They still afflict the chosen seed,
The inward Jews they vex and tear,
The faithful Israelites indeed;
That papal beast the saints o'erpowers,
And with his iron teeth devours.
They still afflict the chosen seed,
The inward Jews they vex and tear,
The faithful Israelites indeed;
That papal beast the saints o'erpowers,
And with his iron teeth devours.
But Jesus, our triumphant Lord,
Soon as the witnesses are kill'd,
Arm'd with His Spirit's flaming sword,
In glorious majesty reveal'd,
Shall slay the antichrist of Rome,
And seal his everlasting doom.
Soon as the witnesses are kill'd,
Arm'd with His Spirit's flaming sword,
In glorious majesty reveal'd,
Shall slay the antichrist of Rome,
And seal his everlasting doom.
