<p>As birds their infant brood protect,<br>
|
|
And spread their wings to shelter them,<br>
|
|
Thus saith the Lord to His elect,<br>
|
|
“So will I guard Jerusalem.”</p>
|
|
<p>And what then is Jerusalem,<br>
|
|
This darling object of His cares?<br>
|
|
Where is its worth in God’s esteem?<br>
|
|
Who built it? Who inhabits there?</p>
|
|
<p>Jehovah founded it in blood,<br>
|
|
The blood of His incarnate Son;<br>
|
|
There dwell the saints, once foes to God<br>
|
|
The sinners whom He calls His own.</p>
|
|
<p>There, though besieged on every side,<br>
|
|
Yet much beloved and guarded well,<br>
|
|
From age to age they have defied<br>
|
|
The utmost force of earth and hell.</p>
|
|
<p>Let earth repent, and hell despair,<br>
|
|
This city has a sure defense;<br>
|
|
Her name is called, “The Lord is there,”<br>
|
|
And who has power to drive Him hence?</p>
