Among
the mighty men of old
Who
fought the battles of the Lord,
Was
Eleazar who was bold
And
would not let go of the sword.
He
fought until His hand was weary,
Yet
to the sword his hand would cling.
The
battle was the Lord’s so clearly;
The
victory came from Christ the King.
The
foes of God had all been slain
With
strength that did not come from man.
The
enemy would fight in vain
When
God advanced His battle plan.
And
thus we’re called to stand and fight,
But
not with strength that is our own.
Be
strong in Christ, for in His might
The
Lord will make His power known.
We
take the sword up of the Spirit,
Which
is the Word of God He gave.
The
hearts of those who humbly hear it
And
trust in Christ, the Lord will save.
We
thank You, Lord, in this late hour
The
gates of hell shall not prevail
Against
the Gospel’s saving power;
Your
promises shall never fail.
O
Lord, the darkness cannot foil
The
work upon the cross You finished.
As
You divide the battle spoil
We
see Your grace is not diminished.
Lord,
in Your power be exalted!
Messiah’s
might is marvelous!
Let
hearts decide, which once had halted,
To
live for You who died for us.
