Hymn Context Compare
Someone has suffered, wept and prayed,
We shout Thy con­quer­ing name;
His or­ders run through all their hosts,
Joined the her­ald bright;
Their hell­ish arts they try;
Our great Re­deem­er dwells.
And range with de­light through the Ed­en of Love.
From the dust the dead arise—
While down to meet her come
In close and firm ar­ray;

Legions

Someone has suffered, wept and prayed,
And le­gions fled with shame.
To shield and guard the Bri­tish coasts,
Came that won­drous night—
And spir­its en­throned on high.
In count­less ar­mies shine,
Harmoniously join in the con­cert of praise,
Wake in ov­er­whelmed sur­prise—
And bid her wel­come home.
Throughout the ev­il day;
