“Every battle … is with confused noise.” Isa. 9. 5
1
Jesus our heavenly Warrior is,
 
He fights our battles well;
 
His wisdom, love, and power displays,
 
And conquers death and hell.
2
When this almighty Warrior stood
 
The church’s woes to bear,
 
Sin, Satan, and the curse of God,
 
In blazing wrath drew near.
3
He bore their every poisonous dart,
 
Nor from God’s vengeance fled;
 
Hell seized his agonisèd heart,
 
And, lo! he bowed his head.
4
He stained his garments in their blood,
 
And, O victorious King!
 
In triumph rose the conquering God,
 
Sweet victory to sing.
5
He satisfied the claims of law,
 
In that tremendous day;
 
Let saints from hence their comfort draw,
 
And sing their cares away.
6
O for a living faith to view
 
The victories of the Lamb;
 
And sweetly lean upon him too,
 
Nor fear to trust his name.
