Drew sword and struck the blow,
And up and free through their heo sea

Yea we have seen Him, clearly seen
Him work the miracle;
We know, whate'er may intervene,
Our God is with us still!

that these men had been executed in
private it would not have been believed

men shortly before they were taken to
the places Of execution. and commented
