A Song of Praise for the Marvellous Deliverance of our Sovereign King, WILLIAM, with the Church, and whole Kingdom, from the Hellish Plot, Discovered, Feb. 1695/6
1 NO change of Time shall ever shock Our firm Affections, Lord to Thee; For thou hast always been a Rock, A Fortress and Defence to me. 2 Our KING Preserved is, O God, By thy own hand and mighty Power; Thou Shieldest him when he is Abroad, At home to him a lasting Tow'r.
1 NO change of Time shall ever shock Our firm Affections, Lord to Thee; For thou hast always been a Rock, A Fortress and Defence to me. 2 Our KING Preserved is, O God, By thy own hand and mighty Pow'r; Thou Shield'st him when he is Abroad, At home to him a lasting Tow'r.
3 The Chariot of the King of kings, Or Troops of mighty Angels round, Encompass him with Rapid Wings, And all his Foes with Shame Confound. 4 Black Thundering Clouds most thick conspired, With Threatening Rage our Face to Veil, But at thy brightness soon retired: Upon our foes falls Fire and Hail.
3 The Chariot of the King of kings, Or Troops of mighty Angels round, Encompass him with Rapid Wings, And all his Foes with Shame Confound. 4 Black Thund'ring Clouds most thick conspir'd, With Threatning Rage our Face to Veil, But at thy brightness soon retir'd: Upon our foes falls Fire and Hail.
5 The Lord doth on our Side engage, From Heaven his Throne Our Cause upheld, And snatched us from the Furious Rage Of Threatening Waves that Proudly Swelled; 6 God his resistless Power employed, Our cruel Foes attempts to break; Or else they might have soon destroyed The best Defence that we could make.
