Isaac Watts - Hymn 29

Isaac Watts - Hymn 29

The ruin of the Antichrist. br br Isa. 63:4-7. br br "I lift my banner," saith the Lord, br "Where Antichrist has stood; br The city of my gospel foes br Shall be a field of blood. br br "My heart has studied just revenge, br And now the day appears; br The day of my redeemed is come br To wipe away their tears. br br "Quite weary is my patience grown, br And bids my fury go; br Swift as the lightning it shall move, br And be as fatal too. br br "I call for helpers, but in vain; br Then has my gospel none? br Well, mine own arm has might enough br To crush my foes alone. br br "Slaughter and my devouring sword br Shall walk the streets around, br Babel shall reel beneath my stroke, br And stagger to the ground." br br Thy honors, O victorious King! br Thine own right hand shall raise, br While we thy awful vengeance sing, br And our deliv'rer praise.
