Explore "2 Kings 6: 16" by John Newton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I: 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.
II: Straightway he saw, with other eyes, / A greater army from the skies --
A fiery guard around the hill; / Thus are the saints preserved still.
III: 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.
IV: The saints espouse my cause by pray'r, / The angels make my soul their care; / Mine is the promise seal'd with blood, / And Jesus lives to make it good.
