Hear my prayer on this night before battle
Lend me courage to stand 'gainst my foe
Let my foemen prove mighty and worthy of battle
Chorus:
And fill my hand as a vessel
And guide my hand on the blade
That by my hand I may glory gain
Hear my prayer
(Alternate Chorus for those on Crusade:
And fill my hand as thy vessel
And guide my hand on the blade
That by my hand I may thy Glory gain
Hear my prayer)
Lend me strength to endure like the mountain
Lend me speed to run fleet as the deer
Fill my heart with such war-lust that I ne'er fear my ending
All around me the war-host has gathered
All are pledged by their swords to my care
Let me guide them with wisdom and spend well their valor
All I own now is yours for the taking
Take even my life if you will
For I hold them but trifles and a fair price for glory
Finale:
Just fill my hand as your vessel
And guide my hand on the blade
That by my hand I may glory gain
Hear my prayer
Hear my prayer.
