HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN

HOW are the mighty fallen!

Those who once stood so strong,

Defending the Truth and their brethren

Through battles severe and long!

Their lives they counted not precious;

No price was too great to pay—

Led by “that faithful Servant,”

They fought in the thick of the fray.

How are the mighty fallen!

Those leaders we learned to love—

Alas! They turned and as traitors,

Deserted the Truth from above.

Oh, words too sad to utter!

Oh, hearts too broken to weep!

God’s grace ‘neath their feet lies trampled;

Deserted, His cause and His sheep!

Oh, how are the mighty fallen!

Though feigning God’s friends still to be

They led His sheep into error

In subtle hypocrisy!

Our heads we’ll not uncover,

Nor mourn for those who have sold

Their Lord and their brethren for power—

 As Judas in days of old.

Alas! How the mighty are fallen!

Lord, who will be able to stand?

Oh. that I may be found worthy

To receive a “Well done” at thy hand !
