Author: Rev. R. W. Todd Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1213 (1886) Scripture: Isaiah 63:1 First Line: O who is this that cometh Lyrics: 1 O who is this that cometh
From Edom's crimson plain,
With wounded side, with garments dyed?
O tell me now thy name.
"I that saw thy soul's distress,
A ransom gave;
I that speak in righteousness,
Might to save."
Refrain:
Mighty to save,
Mighty to save,
Mighty to save;
Lord, I trust thy wondrous love,
Mighty to save.
2 O why is thine apparel
With reeking gore all dyed,
Like them that tread the winepress red?
O why this bloody tide?
"I the winepress trod alone,
'Neath dark'ning skies,
Of the people there was none
Mighty to save." [Refrain]
3 O bleeding Lamb, my Saviour!
How could'st thou bear this shame?
"With mercy fraught, mine own arm brought
Salvation in my name;
I the bloody fight have won,
Conquer'd the grave,
Now the year of joy has come,
Mighty to save." [Refrain] Topics: Special Department Bible Songs Tune Title: MIGHTY TO SAVE
