10210. Hail, Mighty Jesus!

1 Hail, mighty Jesus! how divine
Is Thy victorious sword!
The stoutest rebel must resign
At Thy commanding word.

2 How deep the wounds these arrows give!
They pierce the hardest heart.
The smiles of grace the slain revive,
And joy succeeds the smart.

3 Still gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh;
Ride with majestic sway;
Go forth, great Prince, triumphantly,
And make Thy foes obey.

4 And when Thy victories are complete—
When all the chosen race
Shall round the throne of glory meet
To sing Thy conquering grace—

5 O may my humble soul be found
Among that glorious throng;
And I with them Thy praise will sound
In Heaven’s immortal song.
