We sing the glorious conquest

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Faith In Christ Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest Before Damascus gate, When Saul, the church's spoiler, Came breathing threats and hate; The rav'ning wolf rushed forward Full early to the prey; But lo! the Shepherd met him, And bound him fast today. 2 O glory most excelling That smote across his path! O light that pierced and blinded The zealot in his wrath! O voice that spake unto him The calm, reproving word! O love that sought and held him The bondman of his Lord! 3 O Wisdom ord'ring all things In order strong and sweet, What nobler spoil was ever Cast at the victor's feet? What wiser master-builder E'er wrought at thine employ Than he, til now so furious Thy building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach thy church the lesson, Still in her darkest hour Of weakness and of danger, To trust thy hidden pow'r: Thy grace by ways mysterious The wrath of man can bind, And in thy boldest foe-man Thy chosen saint can find. Amen. Scripture: Acts 9:1-7 Used With Tune: MUNICH
