Power possessing under heaven,
Strong to call dead souls to rise
And exalt them to the skies.That which Christ so hardly wrought,
That which He so dearly bought,
That salvation, mortals say,
Will ye madly cast away?Rather gladly for that Name
Bear the cross, endure the shame;
Joyfully for Him to die
Is not death but victory.Jesus, if Thou condescend
To be called the sinner’s Friend,
Ours the joy and glory be
Thus to make our boast of Thee.Glory to the Father be,

Tell how Jesus waits to own thee,
