Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King When on the Cross the Saviour hung, His Grace a dying Thief did bring, To own him with his Heart and Tongue. 2 Our Malefactor scorn'd Christ's Name, The other did his Sin reprove; Then said by Faith to God's dear Lamb, "Remember me O Lord above." 3 What noble Faith in him appear'd, That he could trust a dying Lord! He soon the blessed Jesus heard pronounce this sweet reviving Word; 4 "Amen, this Day thy Soul shall be "With me in Paradise above." This made the dying Pris'ner free; These Words were full of boundless Love. 5 What Comfort did this Speech convey, To his poor guilty wretched Mind! When thus he heard the Saviour say, Great Peace the Criminal did find. 6 Thus Jesus Christ forgave the Thierf, And shew'd great Mercy to the Man; So in the midst of Woe and Grief, His Joy and Happiness began. 7 O how he sings the Saviour's Praise, Who took him at the very last, When he his youthful Strength and Days In Satan's Cause had spent and past! 8 Now he adores God's holy Name, And stands before the Saviours Face; And will eternally proclaim The boundless Riches of his Grace!

On the bloody Tree behold him, Hear him cry before he dies, "It is finish'd," Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended, Pleads the Merit of his Blood; Venture on him, venture freely, Let no other Trust intrude: None but Jesus, Can do helpless Sinners good. 7 Saints and Angels, join'd in Concert, Sing the Praises of the Lamb, While the blissful Seats of Heaven, Sweetly Echo with his Name, Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Languages: English
