Now From the Roaring Lion's Rage |
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
Now from the roaring lion's rage, O Lord, protect thy Son, Nor leave thy darling to engage The powers of hell alone.
2. Thus did our suff'ring Savior pray,
3. Great was the vict'ry of his death, | 4. A num'rous offspring must arise From his expiring groans; They shall be reckoned in his eyes For daughters and for sons.
5. The meek and humble souls shall see
6. The isles shall know the righteousness |
