EN 3142 As Birds Their Infant Brood Protect

Matt.23.37

Versi Version 1

1

As birds their infant brood protect,

And spread their wings to shelter them,

Thus saith the Lord to His elect,

“So will I guard Jerusalem.”

2

And what then is Jerusalem,

This darling object of His cares?

Where is its worth in God’s esteem?

Who built it? Who inhabits there?

3

Jehovah founded it in blood,

The blood of His incarnate Son;

There dwell the saints, once foes to God

The sinners whom He calls His own.

4

There, though besieged on every side,

Yet much beloved and guarded well,

From age to age they have defied

The utmost force of earth and hell.

5

Let earth repent, and hell despair,

This city has a sure defense;

Her name is called, “The Lord is there,”

And who has power to drive Him hence?
