[Not all the powers of earth and hell]

By strength shall no man prevail, &c. —ii. 9, 10.

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;

153

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.
