From the recording Come, Proclaim the Glorious Battle
Lyrics
Come, proclaim the glorious battle;
of the mighty conflict sing!
Hail the triumph of the Victim;
to his cross allegiance bring.
Jesus Christ, the world's Redeemer,
now ascended, reigns as King.
Satan’s band exulted over
mortal life by sin defiled;
God incarnate came to rescue
chosen man who yet reviled.
By his perfect sacrifice, our
souls are bought and reconciled.
Crown of thorns and spear he suffers,
there, his body on the tree.
From the holy vessel, broken,
blood and water forth proceed:
Saving flood, which all creation
from the curse of sin has freed.
Curtain, torn in thunderous vict’ry,
God and man no more divides.
Earthly powers all defeated,
every scheme of Hell defied,
by the sacred blood and body
of the Lamb now glorified.
Let our songs of praise and honor
signify the battle won
by the Father of creation,
by the true begotten Son,
by the Spirit, ever moving,
One in Three and Three in One.
