I lift my banner saith the Lord | A |
Where Antichrist has stood | A |
The city of my gospel foes | C |
Shall be a field of blood | A |

My heart has studied just revenge | D |
And now the day appears | E |
The day of my redeemed is come | F |
To wipe away their tears | G |

Quite weary is my patience grown | H |
And bids my fury go | I |
Swift as the lightning it shall move | J |
And be as fatal too | A |

I call for helpers but in vain | K |
Then has my gospel none | L |
Well mine own arm has might enough | M |
To crush my foes alone | H |

Slaughter and my devouring sword | A |
Shall walk the streets around | A |
Babel shall reel beneath my stroke | N |
And stagger to the ground | A |
- | |
Thy honors O victorious King | O |
Thine own right hand shall raise | P |
While we thy awful vengeance sing | O |
And our deliv'rer praise | P |
