| 1 Gideon, with three hundred soldiers, Once a mighty host withstood, Camping in the Moreh Valley— An uncounted multitude. But the Lord was helping Gideon, And his brave and trusting band, Armed with trumpets, lamps and pitchers, Went, obeying God’s command: Refrain: Blow thy trumpet, break thy pitcher, Hold thy lamp within thy hand along the line; Cry, “The sword of the Lord and Gideon!” “The sword of the Lord and Gideon,” “The sword of the Lord and Gideon,” And the vict’ry shall be thine. 2 God was mighty to deliver, And they fought without a sword, Wielding naught but torch and trumpet And Jehovah’s mighty Word. Gideon’s men were but a handful, Yet on God they could rely, And the army, panic-stricken, Fled before their battle cry. [Refrain] 3 Go ye forth to bloodless battle In the army of the Lord; Seek the triumph of his kingdom; Sound his name with one accord. Break thy darkened earthly vessels; Flash the light of sacred Word; Flash the light of holy living; Let the voice of God be heard. [Refrain] | Songs of Praise and Salvation #52 (1902) |
