Judges 7:20

• [Jdg 7:20] The Sword Of The Lord

  It was midnight in the valley, and the camp was dark and still, Where the slumb’ring host of Midian lay along the sloping hill, When a blinding flash of torches, and a trumpet loud and shrill, Threw out the battle cry: Refrain Blow ye the trumpet, for the Lord hath made us free; Your blazing lamps raise high! “The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon,” shall be Our conqu’ring battle cry. Where the faint and fearful thousands had returned at God’s command, By the chosen few of faithful, vict’ry came to Gideon’s band; Hear them giving God the glory, and around the camp they stand And shout their battle cry: Refrain Christian soldiers, be not fearful; onward with your Captain go; Ever “looking unto Jesus” you shall conquer ev’ry foe; He hath triumphed—take your trumpets, let the world your vict’ry know; Sing loud your battle cry: Refrain

Judges 14:14

• [Jdg 14:14] The Lion That On Sampson Roared

  The lion that on Sampson roared, And thirsted for his blood; With honey afterwards was stored, And furnished him with food. Believers, as they pace along, With many lions meet; But gather sweetness from the strong, And from the eater, meat. The lions rage and roar in vain, For Jesus is their Shield; Their losses prove a certain gain, Their troubles comfort yield. The world and Satan join their strength, To fill their souls with fears; But crops of joy they reap at length, From what they sow in tears. Afflictions make them love the Word, Stir up their hearts to prayer; And many precious proofs afford, Of their Redeemer’s care. The lions roar but cannot kill, Then fear them not, my friends; They bring us, though against their will, The honey Jesus sends.
