2 Strong Parties garrison within, Who oft make sallies out; And one of them can in a night A mighty Army rout.
3 An hundred eighty thousand men, Did one of these destroy, Of cursed Foes who did strive then, Gods Israel to annoy.
4 A Tower strong is compassed round With a thick mighty wall, For to keep off such Foes who do Pell-mell upon it fall.
4 A Tower strong is compass'd round With a thick mighty wall, For to keep off such Foes who do Pell-mell upon it fall.
5 For Bulwarks God Salvation hath Appointed for the Poor, And he a wall of fire is round About us evermore.
