(one verse introduction)

We sing the glorious conquest
before Damascus' gate,
when Saul, the persecuter,
came breathing threats and hate;
that angry man rushed forward
to fall upon his prey; but, look!
the Savior meets him,
and stops him on his way.

O Glory most excelling
that shone across Saul's path!
O Light that pierced and blinded
that zealot in his wrath!
O Word that spoke within him,
the calm reproving Voice.
O Love that sought and freed
him to live and to rejoice.

Christ, teach your Church the lesson,
still in a darkened hour,
in weakness and in danger
to trust your hidden power.
Your Grace by ways mysterious
an angry soul can fill,
and change a great opponent
to lover of your Will.
