Jael!

Most blessed that woman Jael
Sent by God from Israel.
When the man asked for some water,
Stepped up as a good daughter.
Reached out and grabbed that peg,
No chance for the soldier to beg
For mercy or a stay of execution.
She went right on to the solution.
Deborah, the prophetess, had told:
A woman would arise, most bold.
Said, “The Lord has gone out before you.”
Yes, awake Deborah and sing!
Into the valley they rushed at his heals
With great resolves of heart.
‘Gainst the kings of Canaan they fought
With even the stars of heaven
Peering in admiration of them.
