I.XCIX. Vain are the Hopes that Rebels place
1 Vain are the Hopes that Rebels place
Upon their Birth and Blood,
Descended from a pious Race;
(Their Fathers now with God.)
2 He from the Caves of Earth and Hell
Can take the hardest Stones,
And fill the House of Abr'am well
With new-created Sons.
3 Such wond'rous Pow'r doth he possess,
Who form'd our mortal Frame,
Who call'd the World from Emptiness,
The World obey'd and came.
