Who is this that comes
from Edom,
All His garments stained
with blood;
To the slave proclaiming
freedom;
Bringing and bestowing
good;
Glorious in the garb He
wears,
Glorious in the spoils He
bears?
’Tis the Savior,
now victorious
Traveling onward in His
might;
’Tis the Savior, O how
glorious
To His people is the
sight!
Jesus now is strong to
save,
Mighty to redeem the
slave.
Why that blood His
raiment staining?
’Tis the blood of many
slain;
Of His foes there’s none
remaining,
None the contest to
maintain:
Fallen they are, no more
to rise,
All their glory prostrate
lies.
This the Savior has
effected
By His mighty arm alone;
See the throne for Him
erected;
’Tis an everlasting
throne:
’Tis the great reward He
gains,
Glorious fruit of all His
pains.
Mighty Victor, reign
forever,
Wear the crown so dearly
won;
Never shall thy people,
never
Cease to sing what Thou
hast done;
Thou hast fought Thy
people’s foes;
Thou wilt heal Thy
people’s woes.
