We sing the glorious conquest

Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #150 (1894) Meter: 7.6 D Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest Before Damascus gate, When Saul, the Church's spoiler, Came breathing threats and hate; The ravening wolf rushed forward Full early for the prey; But lo! the Shepherd met him, And bound him fast to-day. 2 Oh, glory most excelling That smote across his path! Oh, light that pierced and blinded The zealot in his wrath! Oh, voice that spake within him The calm, reproving word! Oh, love that sought and held him The bondman of his Lord! 3 O Wisdom ordering all things In order strong and sweet, What nobler spoil was ever Cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder E'er wrought at Thine employ Than he, till now so furious Thy building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach Thy Church the lesson, Still in her darkest hour Of weakness and of danger, To trust Thy hidden power: Thy grace by ways mysterious The wrath of man can bind, And in Thy boldest foeman Thy chosen saint can find.

We sing the glorious conquest before Damascus' gate, when Saul, the church's spoiler came breathing fear and hate. God's light shone down from heaven and broke cross the path.

O voice that spake within him; O strong, reproving Word; O Love that sought and held him a prisoner of his Lord; help us to know your kingship that we, in every hour, in all that may confront us, will trust your hidden power. 3. Your grace, by ways mysterious, our sinful wrath can bind, and in those least expected true servants you can find. In us you seek disciples to share your cross and crown and give you final service in glory at your throne.
