Men Of God, Take Up The Sword Lyrics

Oh sing a new song to the Lord

May tongues be loosed in praise

And sing the triumph of our king

Who ransomed Adam's race

He trampled down and cancelled sin

He rent the veil and saved

Became the record of our debt

And triumphed o'er the grave

O hear the mighty lion's roaring

Shaking hoary trees

The murdered lamb, his scarlet blood

Has broken winter's teeth

The woman's seed, though bruised and torn

Did conquer and defeat

The ancient serpent's head, he crushed

Beneath his nail-pierced feet

The Saints, at Zion's mighty mount

The city of their God

With angels round, and festal shout

And Christ, who's sprinkled blood

Has set them up, there, higher far

Than Sinai's rugged peaks

In Christ, who filled up all the law

And clothed them, white, and brings

Them to his table, sups with them

Forever and amen

So men of God, take up the sword

The Son of God goes forth

To bind the strong man fast in chains

And plunder all his goods

Glory to the Father, and

Glory to the Son

And glory to the Holy Ghost,

God Almighty, Three-and-One

So men of God, take up the sword

The Son of God goes forth

To bind the strong man fast in chains

And plunder all his goods

Glory to the Father, and

Glory to the Son

And glory to the Holy Ghost,

God Almighty, Three-and-One

God Almighty, Three-and-One
