Isaac Watts - Hymn 58
Work rating: Low

The devil vanquished; or, Michael`s war with the dragon.

Rev. 12:7. 

Let mortal tongues attempt to sing
The wars of heav`n, when Michael stood
Chief general of th` Eternal King,
And fought the battles of our God.

Against the dragon and his host
The armies of the Lord prevail:
In vain they rage, in vain they boast,
Their courage sinks, their weapons fail.

Down to the earth was Satan thrown,
Down to the earth his legions fell;
Then was the trump of triumph blown,
And shook the dreadful deeps of hell.

Now is the hour of darkness past,
Christ has assum`d his reigning power;
Behold the great accuser cast
Down from the skies to rise no more.

`Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb,
Thine armies trod the tempter down;
`Twas by thy word and powerful name
They gain`d the battle and renown.

Rejoice, ye heav`ns; let every star
Shine with new glories round the sky;
Saints, while ye sing the heav`nly war,
Raise your Deliv`rer`s name on high.
