Conquering King
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Muster daughter of the troops,
A siege is laid against us;
With a rod strike at the roots,
For judging Israel as thus.
O Bethlehem who is small,
Too little among the clans;
Now is beginning to fall,
Not following what God plans.
Yet out of God shall come forth,
Coming forth is from the old;
In ancient days from the north,
Everlasting will unfold.
He shall give them up in time,
When she who is in labor;
The rest shall confess for crime,
Committed on their neighbor.
He shall stand shepherd His flock,
In majesty of His name;
Responding where He will walk,
Dwell to what He does proclaim.
They shall dwell to feel secure,
Great to the ends of the earth;
He shall be their peace as pure,
Showing them of their true worth.
The Lord shall shepherd the land,
And carrying a two-edge sword;
Those who follow His command,
They are getting their reward.
