LyicsGIRD thy sword on, mighty Saviour,
Make the word of truth thy car:
Prosper in thy course triumphant;
All success attend thy war;
Gracious victor,
Bring thy trophies from afar.
Majesty combined with meekness,
Righteousness and peace unite,
To insure thy blessed conquests--
Take possession of thy right:
Ride triumphant,
Dressed in robes of purest light.
Blest are they that touch thy sceptre
Blest are all that own thy reign;
Freed from sin--that worst of tyrants--
Rescued from its galling chain;
Saints and angels,
All who know thee, bless thy reign.
