The safety and protection of the church, Isa. 26. 1-6

Hymn 1:8. The safety and protection of the church, Isa. 26. 1-6.

1 How honourable is the place Where we adoring stand, Zion the glory of the earth, And beauty of the land!

2 Bulwarks of mighty grace defend The city where we dwell, The walls of strong salvation made, Defy th' assaults of hell.

3 Lift up the everlasting gates, The doors wide open fling, Enter, ye nations, that obey The statutes of our King.

4 Here you shall taste unmingled joys, And live in perfect peace, You that have known Jehovah's name, And ventur'd on his grace.

5 Trust in the Lord, for ever trust, And banish all your fears; Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells, Eternal as his years.

6 [What tho' the rebels dwell on high, His arm shall bring them low, Low' as the caverns of the grave Their lofty heads shall bow.]

7 [On Babylon our feet shall tread In that rejoicing hour, The ruins of her walls shall spread A pavement for the poor.]
