The Cyber Hymnal ‎#8077

8077. Are All the Foes of Sion Fools?

1 Are all the foes of Sion fools,
Who thus devour her saints?
Do they not know her Savior rules,
And pities her complaints?

2 They shall be seized with sad surprise;
For God’s revenging arm
Scatters the bones of them that rise
To do His children harm.

3 In vain the sons of Satan boast
Of armies in array;
When God has first despised their host
They fall an easy prey.

4 O for a word from Zion’s king,
Her captives to restore!
Jacob with all his tribes shall sing,
And Judah weep no more.
