Author: A. W. S. Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #358 (1916) First Line: Do you know the story of Gideon's band Refrain First Line: Then break your pitchers! Lyrics: 1 Do you know the story of Gideon's band;
In the name of the Lord how they dared to stand?
How they drove God's enemies out of the land,
With their broken pitchers and their trumpets?
Chorus:
Then break your pitchers!
Blow your trumpets!
Dare for God to stand!
Break your pitchers!
Blow your trumpets!
Be a Gideon's band!
2 Far down in the valley the enemy lay,
Like the sands of the sea without number, they say,-
But the brave three hundred soon drove them away
With their broken pitchers and their trumpets! [Chorus]
3 Can't you hear God calling for Gideon's band?
Who shall dare in the name of the Lord to stand?
Who shall face the foe with a courage grand,
With their broken pitchers and their trumpets? [Chorus] Topics: Patriotic and Temperance Languages: English Tune Title: [Do you know the story of Gideon's band]
Break Your Pitchers!
