13876. Christ's Day Of Power

1 Thy day of power has come!
This holy dawn divine!
And Zion’s hills, renewed in youth,
With dews of beauty shine.

2 Now may the promised grace
Be fully shed abroad
And all Thy willing people haste
To do the will of God!

3 The Father wills that Thou,
Exalted at His side,
Our only prophet, priest, and king,
Forever shalt abide:

4 That all who love Thy name
One brotherhood shall be,
Kept by the standard of Thy Word
From all divisions free:

5 That all Thy foes shall bow
Submissive at Thy feet,
And Heav’n and earth, with one accord,
Thy perfect empire greet!

6 Let Jews and Gentiles cry
Amen! God’s will be done!
Jesus! who died upon the cross,
We hail Thee on Thy Throne!
