The Babylonian Captivity

O hapless Salem, God's terrestrial throne, Thou land of glory sacred mount of praise. 5 If e'er my memory lose thy lovely name, If my cold heart neglect my kindred race, Let dire destruction seize this guilty frame; My hand shall perish and my voice shall cease. 6 Yet shall the Lord, who hears when Zion calls, O'ertake her foes with terror and dismay, His arm avenge her desolated walls, And raise her children to eternal day.

Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When Christ the Judge at his right-hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell.

Hymnal: DWIP1786 #XXII (1786) First Line: Christ and his cross are all our theme Lyrics: 1 Christ and his cross are all our theme; The myst'ries that we speak, Are scandal in the Jews esteem, And folly to the Greek: 2 But souls, enlightened from above, With joy receive the word; They see what wisdom, power, and love, Shine in their dying Lord. 3 The vital savor of his name Restores their fainting breath; But unbelief perverts the same To guilt, despair, and death. 4 'Till God diffuse his graces down, Like showers of heavenly rain, In vain Apollos sows the ground, And Paul may plant in vain.
