Williams, Hank - The Battle Of Armageddon Lyrics






There's a mighty battle coming and it's well now on its way.
It'll be fought at Armageddon, it shall be a sad, sad day.
In the Book of Revelation, words in chapter sixteen say
There'll be gathered there great armies for that battle on that day.

[Refrain]
All the way from the gates of Eden to the Battle of Armageddon
There's been troubles and tribulation, there'll be sorrow and despair.
He has said "Be ye not troubled for these things shall come to pass."
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with Him atlast.

Turn the pages of your Bible, in St. Matthew you will see,
Start with chapter twenty-four and read from one to thirty-three.
In our Savior's blessed words He said on earth, He prophesised,
For He spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by.

[Refrain]

There'll be nation against nation, there'll be war and rumor of war.
There'll be great signs in Heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars.
Oh, the hearts of men shall fail them, there'll be gnashing of the teeth.
Those who seek it will recieve it, mercy at the Savior's feet.

[Refrain]

  4. B.... T....

    Hank's fans really loved Hank but hated the preachiness of Luke the Drifter

    B.... T....

    I love the preachiness. Put a lil fire and brimstone in my gospel.

  5. r.... p....

    THIS MAN KNEW , HE BELEIVED , YES FROMM THE BIBLE

  6. J.... S....

    Does anyone know why he says Armageddon like that? I'm from alabama and never heard it said like that.

  7. B.... B....

    Many years since I herd this song love it

  8. S.... G....

    Sure sounds like Red Foley's "Smoke On The Water". Both great!

  9. J.... P....

    Jesus name.praying.

  22. d.... A....

    Does anyone else actually prefer the way hank said it (am-ya-god-den) than how its supposed to be said (arm-a-ged-don)?

    d.... A....

    How about when he says "grashing of the teeth" instead of gnashing?

    d.... A....

    it means the same

  23. S.... P....

    Love ya Hank♥

  24. H.... 4....

    I don't see why anyone would give hank a thumbs down especially on a song that speaks the truth

  28. J.... M....

    outstanding song. This battle will wipe out all things that are taking place now; then there will peace on the new earth.

  29. K.... N....

    My father was obsessed with Hank. Listening to his music was a Sunday rite. I grew up enjoying his musi and still enjoy it. It has a special sound.

  30. E.... J....

    I needed to hear this today. "All the way from the gates of Eden to the battle of Armageddon there's been troubles and tribulations; there'll be sorrow and despair."
    That's gospel truth, why that's Bible truth. What we go through is not so special, its not so much more cumbersome than the loads others have borne and will have to bear. "He has said 'be ye not troubled, for these things shall come to pass'" (Matt. 24:6). - They shall come to pass but see also that they shall pass; we have a better day awaiting and hope always on the horizon with Christ steady within us.

  31. J.... M....

    This song hits the nail on the head, only thing we have to do is wait for it to come true. Better get ready for it before it starts.

  32. K.... M....

    Sinner, seek ye the LORD while there's still time to pray; Zion's ship will soon be sailing on that awful Judgment day! Zion's ship will soon be sailing, on Death's waters cruelly tossed - have ye not booked yourself safe passage, your soul will then be lost!

  33. B.... P....

    Glad I got to hear this one. There aren't many young men out there that know anything about the Battle of Armageddon. Hank apparently was well read in the Bible, and elsewhere for that matter. To write and deliver songs like he did he had to have been well versed in the subjects of life.

  34. D.... G....

    the of his music true

  35. R.... S....

    I'm sorry for hank William Sr.

  36. M.... C....

    Hank knew is Bible....God bless him.

  37. G.... J....

    Glenn Johnson First time i have heard this with just his guitar.Have a vinyl UK double album from `71 but the track is overdubbed.Just wonderful.Thank you so much for this!!

  38. T.... ....

    they'll be wars and rumors of wars.

  39. H.... W....

    Listen to the words to this song and look around us. We are in a battle with the devil today and know were about to be in a bigger battle one day. Say whatever you want but just think when you die the Lord might say I never knew you. I don't wanna be rejected by the Lord, do you? Because one day we are going to face the mighty judge of all.

    H.... W....

    Hank Williams these words are so true

    There's a mighty battle coming and it's well now on it's way
    It'll be fought at Armageddon, it shall be a sad, sad day
    In the Book of Revelation, words in Chapter 16 say
    "There'll be gathered there, great armies for that battle on that day"

    All the way from the gates of Eden to the battle of Armageddon
    There's been troubles and tribulation, there'll be sorrow and despair
    He has said, "Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass"
    Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with Him at last

    Turn the pages of your Bible, in St. Matthew you will see
    Start with Chapter 24 and read from 1 to 33
    In our Savior's blessed words he said on earth, he prophesied
    For he spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by

    All the way from the gates of Eden to the battle of Armageddon
    There's been trials and tribulations, there'll be sorrow and despair
    He has said, "Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass"
    Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with Him at last

    There'll be nation against nation, there'll be war and rumor of war
    There'll be great signs in Heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars
    Oh, the hearts of men shall fail them, there'll be gnashing of the teeth
    Those who seek it will receive it, mercy at the Savior's feet

    All the way from the gates of Eden to the battle of Armageddon
    There's been troubles and tribulation, there'll be sorrow and despair
    He has said, "Ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass"
    Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with Him at last

    This was written by Odell McLeod, also known as Mac Odell in Nashville. He and his wife Adaline had a daily radio show from 1946-1955 in Nashville, where is was also a prolific song writer with Acuff-Rose publishing. He wrote such other songs as "Thirty Pieces of Silver," also recorded by Hank.

    K.... M....

    Kenneth Mullinax And if I do recall Acuff and Rose were whom he based his style upon.

    K.... M....

    Pyromaniac21 Uncle Odells' musical publisher was the Acuff and Rose company

  71. E.... J....

    The Revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded by the Apostle John, Chap. 16 and verses 15-21:
    15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
    16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
    17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
    18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
    19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
    20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
    21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

    But praise God brethren, I'm not gonna be there, and if you're saved brother, neither will you, you're a son of God and not of wrath, saved by the grace of God and none of your own works, so keep it alway at the back of your mind: Christ is coming quickly, repent or perish.

    @Larry Lylde No, but you're a shitty person. Read the scripture and try harder, yer doing it wrong.

  72. L.... L....

    This is my favorite gospel song by Hank

    L.... L....

    That's one of my favorites

  73. K.... M....

    SO TRUE

  74. b.... ....

    or is already started

    b.... ....

    Going to share what I learned and you will need to check it out yourself because I been drinking so I can't give you it in full,  Basically the time of the ends countdown starts when Israel becomes a state again which was in 1947 "I did research into the Holocaust and it was Zionist Jews that made that happen" Check that out to, but from 1947 the time counts down, I think the number of years to countdown was 60, has to do with the fig tree in the New Testament! Just some things I found, not sure how to properly put it together anymore but the time is near, and the signs show it!

  75. b.... ....

    its soon a coming

  76. A.... M....

    sing it loud ..hank

  77. d.... ....

    Well, Hank couldn't pronounce "Armageddon" properly, or "poor", for that matter, but that's what makes him so REAL. He was the genuine article...the TRUTH comes through in everything he sings, whether written by him or some one else. Since about the age of 12, he's been my favorite singer of ANY genre.

    d.... ....

    Megiddo isn't in Jerusalem, though it is in Israel. The book of Revelation is an Apocalipse, an allegory of the End Times.

    d.... ....

    No, he said it in Hebrew

    d.... ....

    Anyway, I like how sounds like he belived on every single word of those gospel songs. I miss artists like him.

    d.... ....

    If you think he is pronouncing it wrong, go see the Greek.

    d.... ....

    @rebelwalzt Greek

  78. L.... H....

    he was the first Songwriter a hear in the early fifties

  79. W.... W....

    I've heard his tune with different lyrics, somewhere.

    W.... W....

    I know this is a really old comments but Hank used to take the music to some songs and then rearrange the lyrics to make a new song. That's what he did with this one.

  80. j.... ....

    thank ya

  81. H.... H....

    Bubba needs to go

  82. M.... ....

    you sure about that? Check out the cover performed by the lead singer of the Brian Jonestown Massacre did. its called battle of armageddon - anton newcombe. Its really good!

  83. c.... ....

    but that's just it.... nobody can.

  84. B.... D....

    I do pray. Given that you are the one having personal conversations with "the Beast" it sounds as if I should say a prayer for you... you church burning wanna be poser.

  85. B.... D....

    Really? Signs from the underworld? I'm amazed that the signs from the under world are within your reading level lol. Give it up poser.

  86. B.... D....

    Yeah you are the one bragging about the Klan (not me dip shit) and it is the Klan that has quite a history of blowing up and burning down churches. But we've already established your ignorance of history and of the history of the Ku Klux Klan. I guess they don't talk about things like that in GED class do they lol?

  87. B.... D....

    Ah... yeah case in point moron... and yeah you are a fucking poser lol.

  88. B.... D....

    Yeah, usually the more stupid a guy is the easier it is to piss him off. You are pretty easy to piss off I've noticed lol.

  89. B.... D....

    What ever dude... I still say your a fucking poser lol.

  90. B.... D....

    Nah man, with those gang banger pussies I don't care what skin color they are it's all about money. It don't matter if your talking Latin Kings/Mexican Mafia, Hell's Angels/Aryan Brotherhood, Bloods/Crips, the Oriental gangs or what ever it's all about money. None of them have any souls or conciences and there isn't much worth a shit about any of them. They are all weak little boys that ain't man enough to stand on their own like a real man and don't care who or what they ruin to make money.

  91. B.... D....

    LMFAO!!! What are you 12 or is that just your highest score on an IQ test dip shit? Does mommy know you are up past your bed time saying mean & ugly words on the internet? Better watch out, that's how you get your Legos and Xbox taken away! Clearly you know nothing of the history behind the CSA, meaning you have no respect for those who fought and died for it and it's no big deal. Your a fucking poser!!!

  92. B.... D....

    Nathan Bedford Forrest DID NOT "start" the Klan! He became a member of the Klan. Without question he was the most famous member of the Klan of that time period and the Klan's early history and arguably the most famous Klansman in the history of the KKK but he DID NOT found the Klan! Nobody knows the names of the origional founders now. Odds are it was three former low ranking officers of the Army of Tennessee and it was founded in Pulaski Tennessee somewhere between 1868-70 but not by Forrest!

  93. B.... D....

    Yes Forrest was a Klansman but in his time the Klan transformed from a small time group of harmless pranksters to a vigilante group (which was needed in parts of the South after the Civil War) to an out right political/militant group. As the Klan became more and more political Forrest left the Klan and disagreed with much of what they stood for. One of Forrest's last public appearances was before a black group in Memphis calling for equality and racial harmony. I agree Forrest was a good man.

  94. D.... D....

    Great song!! Never should have been the B side!
