The Sword of the Lord
VERSE 1
If Jesus
leads this army,
It was
midnight in the valley, and the camp was dark and still,
Where
the slumb’ring host of Midian lay along the sloping hill,
When a
blinding flash of torches, and a trumpet loud and shrill,
Threw
out the battle cry:
Reff
Blow ye
the trumpet, for the Lord hath made us free;
Your
blazing lamps raise high!
“The
Sword of the Lord and of Gideon,” shall be
Our
conqu’ring battle cry.
VERSE 2
Where
the faint and fearful thousands had returned at God’s command,
By the
chosen few of faithful, vict’ry came to Gideon’s band;
Hear
them giving God the glory, and around the camp they stand
And
shout their battle cry:
VERSE 3
Christian
soldiers, be not fearful; onward with your Captain go;
Ever
“looking unto Jesus” you shall conquer ev’ry foe;
He hath
triumphed—take your trumpets, let the world your vict’ry know;
Sing
loud your battle cry:
