“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.
