3 Watch-men are useful in the night, They dangers do prevent; So Angels useful are to those Unto whom they are sent.
4 Was not Elisha safe whilst he Was compassed quite round With these blest Chariots and Horsemen Who did his Foes confound?
5 O what are we, most holy God, That thou shouldst take such care Of us who so unworthy be, And sinful Creatures are!
The Second Part. 1 Behold the Angels of the Lord Do encompass round about All them that fear him, for their Guard, To keep all dangers out; 2 For he hath given his Angels charge To keep thee day by day, That thou mayst walk abroad at large With safety in thy way; 3 For they this charge must execute, And bear thee in their Arms, Lest ever thou shouldst dash thy feet Against a stone for harm; ⟨p. 265⟩4 For are they not all Ministers Sent forth for ministration In their behalf, that shall be Heirs Of God's assured Salvation? 5 Ye Saints, behold the Love of God, And sing his Praises forth; No wicked Prince has such a Guard As th' meanest Saint on Earth.
