Author: Johnson O Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12651 First Line: Once, Gideon at God’s command Refrain First Line: The brave three hundred Lyrics: 1 Once, Gideon at God’s command
Took from his army great and grand
A chosen few, a little band
Of just three hundred;
The rank and file, to their dismay,
Were then discharged and sent away,
But with the few he won the day,
With those three hundred.
Refrain:
The brave three hundred,
The Lord’s three hundred;
O help us, Lord, to numbered be
With Thy three hundred.
2 Today we see church buildings stand
In every city of our land,
But in each fight God has a band,
His own three hundred;
Thro’ rain or shine, thro’ dark or light,
These soldiers stand up for the right,
And always win, tho’ fierce the fight,
God’s own three hundred. [Refrain]
3 Oh, help us, Lord, to watch and pray,
That we at last may hear Thee say,
"Well done, ye nobly won the day,
My own three hundred";
Then, when there are no foes to fight,
In that blest land where comes no night,
O may we walk with Thee in white,
Thy saved three hundred. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Once, Gideon at God’s command]
