LORD, the true that follow thee Beam in vict'ry's radiant light, Fill'd their hearts with joyous glee, Even in the darkest night. Roaring billows wild and fleet, Onward pressed the enemy's band; Israel's remnant Jacob's seat, How wilt thou their might withstand? Rise ye heroes, rise to fight For your standard, truth divine, Not by numbers nor by might, By his spirit ye shall shine. And inspired by such appeal Ev'ry man to hosts increased; And they fought with holy zeal Till the tyrant-hold released. Lord, thy truth, thy holy love, Is our cherish'd banner still; And in faith for evermore, Thy command we follow will. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
