Gods Hosts unseen, Defenders are
Of my dear Love and Me.
'Tis not 'cause I deserve
To have a Life guard by me;
But 'cause he in a Bed of love
Will please to settle nigh me.
If Hosts against me rise,
And men of War shall scare me:
The Lord of Hosts will send his Hosts,
They in their arms shall bear me.
The Lord will Muster up,
And send them to the Courts
Of Tyrant▪ Rulers, who shall down
With them, and all their Forts.
Believe it, there are Thrones,
And Nobles sit upon them:
Above the earthly greatest Ones,
And Judgments issue from them.
These, these shall do us right,
When we can nothing do;
With Herod's of the World shall fight,
And overcome them too.
