What if Earth doe ruine threate?
Loe our state Jehova guideth,
He that on the Cherubs rideth.
What if Earth doe ruine threate?
Loe our state Jehova guideth,
He that on the Cherubs rideth.
Greate Jehova Sion holdes,
High above what Earth enfolds:
Thence his sacred name with terror,
Forceth truth from tongues of error.

Thron'd he sitts a king of might,
Mighty soe, as bent to right:
For how can but be maintained
Right, by him who right ordained?

At the footstoole sett before him,
