Author: John R. Clements Hymnal: Williston Hymns #170 (1917) Hymnal Title: Williston Hymns First Line: Not the might of long-drilled warriors Refrain First Line: Just with trumpets, and with pitchers Lyrics: 1 Not the might of long-drilled warriors,
With their discipline and skill,
Not the shot and shell of canon
Put the foe to flight at will.
Refrain:
Just with trumpets, and with pitchers, and with lamps,
The army wrought dismay;
Just with trumpets, and with pitchers, and with lamps,
Our great Jehovah won the day!
Just with trumpets, and with pitchers, and with lamps,
The army wrought dismay;
Just with trumpets, and with pitchers, and with lamps,
Jehovah won the day.
2 Not the boasted skill of soldiers
Won for them that victory;
Not the might of man in triumph,
Set the persecuted free. [Refrain]
3 Oft today in giant struggles
God has shown His pow’r and might;
Using simple things to aid Him,
Foes dismayed are put to flight. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Not the might of long-drilled warriors]
With Trumpets, Pitchers, Lamps
