Fear not daughter of Zion. John 12:15. But rejoice greatly and shout, O daughter of Jerusalem Behold thy king comes unto thee; he is just and having salvation. Zechariah 9:9. For the Lord has taken away thy judgments, he has cast out thine enemy; the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more. Zephaniah 3:16. Behold they shall surely gather together but not by me. Whosoever shall gather together against thee, shall fall for thy sake. Isaiah 54:16. Let them return unto thee, but return not thou unto them. Jeremiah 15:19.
How strong soever thine inward enemies, thy corruptions, may be now, fear not and be not discouraged. So much the more, saith faith, thy king is bound by his office, love, and promise, to help’ and assist thee with strength to overcome: and thus, as the ancients said, shall even the hardships of a Christian, under his corruptions, be rewarded with a crown. O Lord, grant that I may be always faithful and resolute enough not to spend needlessly too much time in one conflict, but directly putting on the armour of faith, I may soon conquer, press forward, and experience thee every hour, as a mighty King and Saviour.
My Lord, my conqueror, and my king,
Thy scepter and thy sword I sing;
Thine is the victory, and I sit,
A joyful subject at thy feet.
Great Prophet, let me bless thy name;
By thee the joyful tidings came,
Of wrath appeased, or sins forgiven.
Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.
