Sword

Only God can whet the edge
Of steel that’s made of light
Or sharp the word that is his pledge
To pierce the wrong with right

This gleaming polished saber
This Holy Spirit sword
Is faith’s most trusted neighbor
And is close, as is the LORD

Sharper still more powerful
Than any two edged sword
To us a thing most beautiful
But fear to evil’s hoard

There is no other weapon
With this the only goal
To heaven sinners beckon
And save the sinner’s soul
