Representative Text

1. Who is this who comes from Edom?
All his raiment stained with blood,
To the captive speaking freedom,
Bringing and bestowing good,
Glorious in the garb he wears,
Glorious in the spoil he bears?

2. 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious,
Trav'ling onward in his might;
'Tis the Savior, oh how glorious,
To His people is the sight!
Jesus now has paid the cost,
Mighty to redeem the lost.

3. Why that blood His raiment staining?
'Tis the blood of many slain;
Of His foes are none remaining,
None the contest to maintain:
Low they are, no more to rise;
All their glory prostrate lies.

4. Mighty Victor, reign forever,
Wear the crown so dearly won;
Never shall your people, never,
Cease to sing what you have done:
You have fought your people's foes;
Thou will heal your people's woes.
