[Verse 1] The prophetic sons say their dwelling with Elisha has become too small. A borrowed axe head falls into the water. The Syrian king plans ambushes against Israel. The Syrian king learns that Elisha reveals words spoken in his bedchamber. [Pre-Chorus] The line drew close, the watch was nearly done, Then courage rose before the rising sun. [Chorus] They That Be with Us Are More, let the trumpet answer clear, Not by number, not by sword, not by fear. The faithful moved where the battle line was drawn, And the purpose of the LORD kept moving on. [Verse 2] Israel's king asks to kill them, but Elisha commands a feast and release. Ben-hadad later besieges Samaria until famine becomes extreme. The king hears two women describe a horrific agreement to eat their sons. Elisha predicts that flour and barley will be cheap at the gate next day. [Bridge] Four lepers enter the Syrian camp and find it abandoned. The Syrians have fled after hearing the sound of chariots and a great host. The lepers report the discovery, and cautious scouts confirm the flight. The people plunder the camp, and the doubting officer is trampled at the gate. [Final Chorus] They That Be with Us Are More, let the trumpet answer clear, Not by number, not by sword, not by fear. The faithful moved where the battle line was drawn, And the purpose of the LORD would still move on. [Outro] The field grew still; the record kept the name. Courage passed onward through the fading flame.
