Poem #1269: Battlecry

Let God arise

Let His enemies

Be scattered wide

Establish your will

Scatter the peoples

Who delight

In war like the ripples

Let all who hate

Peace flee

As before a plague

As wax melts before heat

As smoke driven away

By a hurricane

Let God

Our God

Make useless all

Weapons of war

To the fatherless

Be a Father

To the widow

A Defender

Comfort the home-

Less and be their Shelter

Let our God arise

In the power of His might.
