The Sword of the Lord and Gideon
Author: Mrs. Frank A. Breck Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Judges 7:19-20 First Line: Gideon, with three hundred soldiers Refrain First Line: Blow thy trumpet, break thy pitcher Lyrics: 1 Gideon, with three hundred soldiers,
Once a mighty host withstood,
Camping in the Moreh Valley—
An uncounted multitude.
But the Lord was helping Gideon,
And his brave and trusting band,
Armed with trumpets, lamps and pitchers,
Went, obeying God’s command:
Refrain:
Blow thy trumpet, break thy pitcher,
Hold thy lamp within thy hand along the line;
Cry, “The sword of the Lord and Gideon!”
“The sword of the Lord and Gideon,”
“The sword of the Lord and Gideon,”
And the vict’ry shall be thine.
2 God was mighty to deliver,
And they fought without a sword,
Wielding naught but torch and trumpet
And Jehovah’s mighty Word.
Gideon’s men were but a handful,
Yet on God they could rely,
And the army, panic-stricken,
Fled before their battle cry. [Refrain]
3 Go ye forth to bloodless battle
In the army of the Lord;
Seek the triumph of his kingdom;
Sound his name with one accord.
Break thy darkened earthly vessels;
Flash the light of sacred Word;
Flash the light of holy living;
Let the voice of God be heard. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Gideon, with three hundred soldiers]

Cyrus S. Nusbaum
1861 - 1937 Person Name: C. S. N. Scripture: Psalm 37:5 Hymnal Number: 66 Author of "His Way With Thee" in Songs of Praise and Salvation Rv Cyrus Sylvester Nusbaum DD USA 1861-1937. Born at Middlebury, IN, he completed his education and taught school in Marion County, KS. In 1886 he married Harriett Eleanor Erwin, and they had two children: Hazel and Mark. That year he was ordained a Methodist minister and pastored at Douglass, Goddard, Wichita, and Kingman, KS. He served as educational secretary at Southwestern College, Winfield, KS, 1895-1897. He pastored at Ottawa, KS, 1897-1903. He became presiding elder of the Independent District, 1903-1907, and pastor at Parsons, KS, 1908-1914. In 1914 he was appointed an evangelist for the Methodist Conference. During WW1 he was a US Army Captain working as an American Red Cross inspector in France. After the war, he often spoke on the Redpath Lyceum circuit and held evangelistic meetings in KS, NE, OK, and TX. Southwestern College conferred a DD degree upon him. In latter years, he served small KS churches and was a “supply preacher” at Lost Springs and Antelope. He died at Wichita, and was buried in Kingman, KS.
Special note: His hymn, noted below, was written after his first year of trying to preach at seven different locations simultaneously on a very low salary, a very difficult task. He was tired and discouraged. At the annual conference meeting he was hoping for a better appointment, but was reassigned to the same circuit. He was unhappy and rebellious in spirit about it, but, upon retiring at the lodging place for the night, he stayed up late after his wife had retired for the night. About midnight he knelt in prayer and told God he could have his way regardless of the cost. It inspired him to write the hymn (both words and music).
