Captains of the saintly band
Lights who lighten every land
Princes who with Jesus dwell
Judges of His israel
On the nations sunk in night
Ye have shed the gospel light
Sin and error flee away
Truth reveals the promised day

Not by warrior’s spear and sword
Not by art of human word
Preaching but the cross of shame
Rebel hearts for Christ Ye tame

Earth, that long in sin and pain
Groaned in satan’s deadly chain
Now to serve its God is free
In the law of liberty

Distant lands with one acclaim
Tell the honor of Your name
Who, wherever man has trod
Teach the mysteries of God

Glory to the Three in One
While eternal ages run
Who from deepest shades of night
Called us to His glorious light
