I know!! So much solid TRUTH in them. I've always loved this hymn. But I hate how most churches play it, dragging along to get all the words in. This should be an invigorating WAR song!! A declaration that God is on our side in the fiercest battles. God wins!!
We should look at more of our hymns that way. In a concert I once heard Oh Night Divine sung by about 8 strong male voices and it gave me chills! Go through those lyrics and imagine warrior angels declaring those words.
A Mighty Fortress. These words come to mind often. https://youtu.be/yqczuaFQpVQ
What a powerful song...these old hymns...the music/words...are a treasure...the modern worship/praise music does not compare...AT ALL...

Absolutely...it is NOT a funeral dirge...it's a battle cry...Amen...
