  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
