God Fights for His Church

Verse 1

Let Zion in her King rejoice; Though tyrants rage, and kingdoms rise, He utters His almighty voice, The nations melt, the tumult dies.

Verse 2

The LORD of old for Jacob fought, And Jacob's God is still our aid: Behold the works His hand has wrought, What desolations He has made!

Verse 3

From sea to sea, through all the shores, He makes the noise of battle cease; When from on high His thunder roars, He awes the trembling world to peace.

Verse 4

He breaks the bow, He cuts the spear Chariots He burns with heav'nly flame; Keep silence, all the earth, and hear The sound and glory of His Name.

Verse 5

"Be still, and learn that I am God; I'll be exalted o'er the lands; I will be known and feared abroad; But still my throne in Zion stands."

Verse 6

O LORD of hosts, Almighty King, While we so near Thy presence dwell, Our faith shall sit secure, and sing Defiance to the gates of hell.
