280. He Is Able to Deliver Thee

1 'Tis the grandest theme thru the ages rung;
'Tis the grandest theme for a mortal tongue;
'Tis the grandest theme that the world e'er sung -
"Our God is able to deliver thee."

Chorus:
He is able to deliver thee,
He is able to deliver thee;
Tho by sin opprest,
Go to Him for rest,
"Our God is able to deliver thee."

2 'Tis the grandest theme in the earth or main;
'Tis the grandest theme for a mortal strain;
'Tis the grandest theme, tell the world again -
"Our God is able to deliver thee." [Chorus]

3 'Tis the grandest theme, let the tidings roll
To the guilty heart, to the sinful soul;
Look to God in faith, He will make thee whole -
"Our God is able to deliver thee." [Chorus]
