Lyics

STRIKE the cymbal, roll the timbal,

Let the trump of triumph sound:

Powerful slinging, headlong bringing

Proud Goliah to the ground.



From the river, rejecting quiver,

Judah's hero takes the stone;

Spread your banners, shout hosannas;

Battle is the Lord's alone.



See advances, with songs and dances,

All the band of Israel's daughters;

Catch the sound you hills and waters;

Spread your banners, shout hosannas,

Battle is the Lord's alone.



God of thunder, rend asunder

All the power Philistia boasts;

What are nations? what are stations?

Israel's God is Lord of hosts.



What are haughty monarchs now?

Low before Jehovah bow:

Pride of Princes, strength of Kings;

To the dust Jehovah brings.

Praise him praise him, exulting nations praise him;

Praise him, praise him, exulting nations praise him:

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna.
