Lyrics to
Oh, How the Mighty are Fallen (2 Samuel 1:17-27)
Your glory, O Israel, is slain on a hill! Oh, How the mighty have fallen!
Keep the news to yourself, of the blood that was spilled
Oh, How the mighty have fallen!
No field of offerings! no rain upon you Oh, How the mighty have fallen! Saul and Jonathan, beloved and true Oh, How the mighty have fallen!
Chorus
They were swifter than eagles
and stronger than lions
Oh, how the mighty have fallen
Now the weapons of war, have all run their course
The song we are singing is solemn
Oh, how the mighty
Oh, how the mighty have fallen
vs3
“You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet aplenty, who put ornaments of gold, with a heart so bold
But his sword did not return empty
The sun stood still, in the midst of the sky
Oh, How the mighty have fallen!
Jonathan my brother, how could you die
Oh, How the mighty have fallen!
Chorus
They were swifter than eagles
and stronger than the lions
Oh, how the mighty have fallen
Now the weapons of war, have all run their course
The song we are singing is solemn
Oh, how the mighty
Oh, how the mighty have fallen
