The Jewish and the Christian Zion. Ps. 48. |
655. C. M. Anonymous. The Jewish and the Christian Zion. Ps.48. 1 With stately towers and bulwarks strong, Unrivalled and alone, Loved theme of many a sacred song, God's holy city shone. 2 Thus fair was Zion's chosen seat, The glory of all lands; Yet fairer, and in strength complete, The Christian temple stands. 3 The faithful of each clime and age This glorious church compose; Built on a rock, with idle rage The threatening tempest blows. 4 In vain may hostile bands alarm, For God is her defence; How weak, how powerless is each arm, Against Omnipotence!
