HYMN 50. The Power of God's Word.
1
O Lord, 'tis matter of high Praise
thy Word on us doth shine;
But Happy they who fee! it's rays,
and glorious Power Divine.
2
O let poor Sinners feel their Sin
prick them, as with a sword;
And Purge out all that Filth within;
so will we praise thy Word.
3
Enlightened Souls have cause to sing,
who Wounded were by thee;
True cause of joy to such doth spring;
for they, Lord, He aled be;
4
And now in Robes, most richly deckt,
they to the King are brought;
Surpassing Angels; for have they
a Robe so richly Wrought.
5
We therefore throw our Crowns below
thy High and Glorious Throne;
And must all say, both Night and Day,
thou Worthy art alone,
6
All Glory, Pow'r, and Praise to have,
by us for evermore;
Thus let us Sing unto our King,
and him in Heart adore.
