HYMN 112.
[The glorious God, the Lord above]
Gen. 32. 1. This is God's Host, &c.
The glorious God, the Lord above,
Hath a most mighty Host,
Who have a Prince their General,
Of whom they daily boast:
Hath a most mighty Host,
Who have a Prince their General,
Of whom they daily boast:
Christ is their Head, he's Head of all
Princ'palities and Powrs,
And these do keep and save the Saints
From him that Souls devours.
Princ'palities and Powrs,
And these do keep and save the Saints
From him that Souls devours.
This mighty Host and Army's rais'd
Under their Prince to fight,
And one of them hath thousands slain
Of Rebels in a night.
Under their Prince to fight,
And one of them hath thousands slain
Of Rebels in a night.
This Host sometimes does suddenly
Vile Sinners so invade
By Plague and Famine, and by War,
That all are soon dismaid.
Vile Sinners so invade
By Plague and Famine, and by War,
That all are soon dismaid.
They slaughtering Weapons have each some,
And Execution do;
And as Commission they receive,
They saved or do o'rethrow.
And Execution do;
And as Commission they receive,
They saved or do o'rethrow.
