Destroy the nations in the name of the Lord
Draw forth the bow and bring out the sword
They compassed me, yea they compassed me about
But God will cut them down with a fiery shout
It is better to trust God than to trust princes
It is better to trust God than feeble politicians
The nations they are like a swarm of bees
So set fire upon thorns, set fire to all of these
All the nations are founded upon men now long dead
But the stone the builders rejected became the head
Take all the nations and let them be hanged on the rope
The Lord is our strength and song, our salvation and hope
The nations are snares set down by men subtle and clever
They will be broken because the Lord's mercy abides forever
Draw forth the bow and bring out the sword
They compassed me, yea they compassed me about
But God will cut them down with a fiery shout
It is better to trust God than to trust princes
It is better to trust God than feeble politicians
The nations they are like a swarm of bees
So set fire upon thorns, set fire to all of these
All the nations are founded upon men now long dead
But the stone the builders rejected became the head
Take all the nations and let them be hanged on the rope
The Lord is our strength and song, our salvation and hope
The nations are snares set down by men subtle and clever
They will be broken because the Lord's mercy abides forever
