We Sing the Glorious Conquest

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Epiphany Conversion of Paul 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 to-day. 2. Oh, glory most excelling That smote across his path! Oh, light that pierced and blinded The zealot in his wrath! Oh, voice that spake within him The calm, reproving word! Oh, love that sought and held him The servant 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 your employ Than he, till now so furious Your building to destroy? 4. Lord, teach your Church the lesson, Still in her darkest hour Of weakness and of danger, To trust your hidden power: Your grace by ways mysterious The wrath of Earth can bind, And in Thy boldest rival Your chosen saint can find.

What wonders are in Sion told! Thou city of our God below, Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know. 4 Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew, Shall there begin their lives anew; Angels and men shall join to sing The hill where living waters spring. 5 When God makes up his last account Or natives in his holy mount, Twill be an honour to appear As one new-born and nourish'd there.
