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
