In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
by Isaac Watts·1707·Meter 8.8.8.8 (LM)
Based on Rev 18:20,21.
1
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
Lies, a fair type of Babylon:
"Prophets, rejoice, and all ye saints,
God shall avenge your long complaints."
2
He said, and dreadful as he stood,
He sunk the millstone in the flood:
"Thus terribly shall Babel fall,
Thus, and no more be found at all."
