Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs First Line: Wake thou, my sowrd! Jehovah said Lyrics: 1 Wake thou, my sword! Jehovah said,
It woke, obey'd the high command;
And bath'd in blood on Jesus' head,
Smote down the Man of God's right hand.
2 Why leap'd the blade from mercy's sheath?
Why wrapt for slaughter gleam'd the sword,
That kills—and makes alive from death?
What rouz'd the vengeance of the Lord?
3 Stern justice drew the weapon forth:
Soft mercy aim'd the mortal blow:
Then judgment past on all the earth:
Now, truth a seal'd release can show.
4 All hail! great plan of plans divine!
First counsels of the might God!
Before all worlds this one design,
Was grav'd on archives, writ in blood.
5 The heav'ns may perish—earth decay;
Suns turn to night—and moons wax pale:
Th' Almighty love of Calv'ry's day;
The blood of Christ can never fail.
6 What he bagan, ere time begun,
Eternity shall but complete;
Nor hell in arms against the Son,
The triumphs of the cross defeat. Topics: The Death of Jesus, who Died for All; Who tasted Death for Every Man Scripture: Zechariah 13:6-7 Languages: English
