of wisdom, love and power,
that ever mortals knew,
that angels ever bore;
all are too poor to speak his worth,
too poor to set my Saviour forth!
2 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue shall bless your name;
by you the joyful news
of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.
3 Jesus, my great High Priest,
the Lamb of God who died!
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside;
the power of your atoning blood
has won acceptance with my God.
4 Divine almighty Lord,
my Conqueror and my King:
your sceptre and your sword,
your reigning grace I sing:
yours is the power — and so I sit
in willing service at your feet.
5 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down:
my Captain leads me on
to conquest and a crown;
the child of God shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way.
