John Newton (Джон Ньютон)


More With Us Than with Them


Alas! Elisha's servant cried,
When he the Syrian army spied,
But he was soon released from care,
In answer to the prophet's prayer.

Straitway he saw, with other eyes,
A greater army from the skies;
A fiery guard around the hill,
Thus are the saints preserved still.

When Satan and his host appear,
Like him of old, I faint and fear;
Like him, by faith, with joy I see,
A greater host engaged for me.

The saints espouse my cause by prayer,
The angels make my soul their care;
Mine is the promise sealed with blood,
And Jesus lives to make it good. 



John Newton's other poems:
  1. Belshazzar
  2. Gideon's Fleece
  3. The Book of Creation
  4. Now May He Who from the Dead
  5. The Day of Judgement
