Are All the Foes of Zion Fools

Melody -

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

Are all the foes of Zion fools,
Who thus devour her saints?
Do they not know her Savior rules,
And pities her complaints?

2. They shall be seized with sad surprise;
For God's revenging arm
Scatters the bones of them that rise
To do his children harm.

3. In vain the sons of Satan boast
Of armies in array;
When God has first despised their host
They fall an easy prey.

4. O for a word from Zion's King,
Her captives to restore!
Jacob with all his tribes shall sing,
And Judah weep no more.
