Hymn Before Action lyrics
by Karl Jenkins
The earth is full of anger
The seas are dark with wrath
The Nations in their harness
Go up against our path:
Ere yet we loose the legions --
Ere yet we draw the blade
Jehovah of the Thunders
Lord God of Battles, aid!
High lust and froward bearing
Proud heart, rebellious brow --
Deaf ear and soul uncaring
We seek Thy mercy now!
The sinner that forswore Thee
The fool that passed Thee by
Our times are known before Thee --
Lord, grant us strength to die!
