Text Based On Judges Chapter 7
When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me,
then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp,
and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
The Sword of The Lord
It was midnight in the valley, and the camp was dark and still,
Where the slumbering 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:
Refrain
Blow ye the trumpet, for the Lord hath made us free;
Thy blazing lamps raise high!
“ The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon,” shall be
Our conquering battle cry.
Where the faint and fearful thousands had returned at God’s command,
By the chosen few of faithful, victory came to Gideon’s band;
Hear them giving God the glory, and around the camp they stand
And shout their battle cry:
Refrain
Christian soldiers, be not fearful; onward with thy Captain go;
Ever “ looking unto Jesus ” ye shall conquer every foe;
He hath triumphed – take thy trumpets, let the world thy victory know;
Sound loud the battle cry!
Refrain
