Sword of Heaven

.
The sword of the world
     will strike the Good Shepherd,
          and His sheep will be scattered.
Awake, O sword!
Do thy destined deed!

The sword of the world
     will turn its bloody blade
          against the Shepherd's own.
Awake, O sword!
Do thy destined deed!

The sword of the world
     will divide the Lord's flock,
          leaving a remnant alone to be.
Awake, O sword!
Do thy destined deed!

Then the Sword of Heaven
     will cut a path for the poor
          to their Savior standing there.
Awake, O Sword!
Do thy destined deed!

Behold! The Day of the Lord comes.
Behold! The Almighty goes forth.
Behold! The Sword of Heaven
                   will make believers
                        God's sons.
 

Zechariah 13:7-9; 14:1
