LyicsHAIL, mighty Jesus! how divine
Is thy victorious sword!
The stoutest rebel must resign
At thy commanding word.
How deep the wounds thine arrows give!
They pierce the hardest heart;
Thy smiles of grace the slain revive,
And joy succeeds to smart.
Still gird thy sword upon thy thigh;
Ride with majestic sway;
Go forth, great Prince, triumphantly,
And make thy foes obey.
And, when thy vict'ries are complete,--
When all the chosen race
Shall round the throne of glory meet
To sing thy conq'ring grace,--
O, may my humble soul be found
Among that glorious throng:
And I with them thy praise will sound
In heav'n's immortal song.
