From foes, that round us rise

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LIX (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 From foes, that round us rise, O God of heav'n, defend, Who brave the vengeance of the skies, And with thy saints contend. 2 Behold, from distant shores, And desert wilds they come, Combine for blood their barb'rous force, And thro' thy cities roam. 3 Beneath the silent shade, Their sacred plots they lay, Our peaceful walls by night invade, And waste the fields by day. 4 And will the God of grace, Regardless of our pain, Permit secure that impious race, To riot in their reign? 5 In vain their secret guile, Or open force they prove; His eye can pierce the deepest veil, His hand their strength remove. 6 Yet save them, Lord, from death, Lest we forget their doom; But drive them with thine angry breath, Thro' distant lands to roam. 7 Then shall our grateful voice Proclaim our guardian God; The nations round the earth rejoice, And sound thy praise abroad.
