The Triumph of Christ Over the Enemies of His Church › Representative Texts

1 What mighty Man, or mighty God,
comes travelling in State,
Along the Idumean Road,
away from Bozrah's Gate!
2 The Glory of his Robes proclaim
'tis some victorious King:
"Tis I, the Just, th' almighty One,
"that your Salvation bring.

3 Why, mighty Lord, thy Saints enquire,
why thine Apparel red?
And all thy Vesture stain'd like those
who in the Wine-press tread?"
4 "I by my self have trod the Press,
"and crush'd my Foes alone;
"My Wrath has struck the Rebels dead,
"my Fury stamp'd them down.

5 "'Tis Edoms Blood that dyes my Robes
"with joyful Scarlet Stains,
"The Triumph that my Raiment wears
"sprung from their bleeding Veins.
6 "Thus shall the Nations be destroy'd
"that dare insult my Saints;
"I have an Arm t'avenge their Wrongs,
"an Ear for their Complaints."
