Gird thy sword on, mighty Saviour!
Make the word of truth thy care!
Prosper in thy course triumphant,
All success attend thy war!
: Gracious Victor, :|
Bring thy trophies from afar.
Majesty combined with meekness,
Righteousness and peace unite,
To ensure thy blessed conquest,
Take possession of thy right:
: Ride, victorious, :|
Decked in robes of purest light.
Blest are all that touch thy sceptre
Blest are all that own thy reign;
Freed from sin, that worst of tyrants—
Rescued from its galling chain:
|: Saints and angels, :|
All who know thee bless thy reign.
