How pow'rful is the glor'ous Word
Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How pow'rful is the glor'ous Word!
The unctious Word of God,
Which preaches Jesus Christ our Lord,
His Suff'rings, Death and Blood.
2 How it reveals his Mystery!
Who did our Souls redeem;
Explains the sacred Unity,
And shouts us sav'd in him.
3 It shews us ev'ry law Command,
Dear Lamb, fulfill'd in thee;
And bids us fast, and fearless stand,
Where thou hast made us free.
4 Dear, glorious Lamb, we thee adore;
We praise thee for thy Word:
But for thyself we praise thee more,
O! holy, holy Lord. Topics: After Preaching

James Relly
1722 - 1778 Author of "How powerful is the glorious Word" James Relly was born about 1722 at Jeffreston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and died in 1778. He was converted to Christianity during the Great Awakening ushered in by George Whitefield. He worked under George Whitefield as a Calvinistic Methodist preacher and missionary. However, Whitefield and Relly separated ways over Relly's seemingly universalist teaching that all humanity was elect (i.e. saved) when Christ took the punishment for all sin when he died. He also departed from both the Calvinists and Methodists by taking the doctrine of Justification further, in teaching that believers no longer sin and the Law's sole purpose is to condemn humanity and point them to Christ.
He was the mentor of John Murray, the founder of the Universalist Church of America. Relly along with his brother John wrote Christian Hymns, Poems and Spiritual Songs in 1758, which John Murray had republished in America in 1776.
