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.
