The Sword bathed in Heaven

Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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
