Jesus our heavenly Warrior is

Verse 1

Jesus our heavenly Warrior is, He fights our battles well; His wisdom, love, and power displays, And conquers death and hell.

Verse 2

When this almighty Warrior stood The church’s woes to bear, Sin, Satan, and the curse of God, In blazing wrath drew near.

Verse 3

He bore their every poisonous dart, Nor from God’s vengeance fled; Hell seized his agonisèd heart, And, lo! he bowed his head.

Verse 4

He stained his garments in their blood, And, O victorious King! In triumph rose the conquering God, Sweet victory to sing.

Verse 5

He satisfied the claims of law, In that tremendous day; Let saints from hence their comfort draw, And sing their cares away.

Verse 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.
