How are the mighty fall'n
in the midst of the battle,
O Jonathan.
Thou wast slain in thy high places.
O Jonathan, woe is me for thee,
O Jonathan, my brother,
Very kind hast thou been to me.
Thy love to me was wonderful,
passing the love of women.
How are the mighty fall'n,
and the weapons of war destroyed,
How are the mighty fall'n


Lyrics: 2 Samuel - 1:25 - 27.



With repetition:


How are the mighty fall'n
the mighty fall'n
How are the mighty fall'n
How are the mighty fall'n
in the midst of the battle,
in the midst of the battle,
O Jonathan, O Jonathan,
thou wast slain in thy high places,
in thy high places,
thou wast slain in thy high places,
thou wast slain in thy high places,
in thy high places, in thy high places.
O Jonathan, O Jonathan,
O Jonathan woe is me for thee,
O Jonathan my brother,
my brother Jonathan,
very kind hast thou been to me,
hast thou been to me,
very kind hast thou been to me,
hast thou been to me:
thy love to me was wonderful,
was wonderful, was wonderful,
was wonderful, passing the love of women.


How are the mighty fall'n,
How are the mighty fall'n,
How are the mighty fall'n,
How are the mighty fall'n,
and the weapons of war destroyed,
and the weapons of war destroyed.
How are the mighty fall'n,
How are the mighty fall'n,
and the weapons of war destroyed,
and the weapons of war destroyed,
and the weapons of war destroyed,
and the weapons of war destroyed.
How are the mighty fall'n


Lyrics: 2 Samuel - 1:25 - 27.
