Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance 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! Scripture: Luke 23:39-43

Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation ot Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow In Faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace; Might more of his Salvation know, And seek more earnestly his Face. 2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray; And he, I trust, has answer'd Pray'r: But it has been in such a Way As almost drove me to Despair. 3 I hop'd that in some favour'd Hour, At once he'd grant me my Request; And, by his Love's constraining Pow'r, Subdue my Sins, and give me Rest. 4 Instead of this, he made me feel The hidden Evils of my Heart, And let the angry Pow'rs of Hell Assault my soul in ev'ry Part. 5 Yea more, with his own Hand he seem'd Intent to agravate my Woe; Cross'd all the fair Designs I schem'd, Blasted my Gourds, and laid me low. 6 LORD, why is this? I trembling cry'd; Wilt thou pursue thy worm to Death? 'Tis in this Way, the LORD reply'd, I answer Pray'r for Grace and Faith. 7 These inward Trials I employ From Self and Pride to set thee free, To break thy Schemes of worldly Joy, That thou may'st seek thy All in Me.

I almost hear the music Soft and low. [Refrain] 4 O heaving, swelling billows, Bear onward to my home! Beyond these dreary headlands I see its shining dome. There, there my fainting spirit No more for rest shall sign; 'Tis there I hope to anchor By and by. [Refrain] Scripture: John 14:2 Used With Tune: THERE'S ROOM FOR YOU TO ANCHOR
