Now to the Power of God Supreme

Verse 1

Now to the power of God supreme
Be everlasting honours given,
He saves from hell, (we bless his Name)
He calls our wandering feet to heaven.

Verse 2

Not for our duties or deserts,
But of his own abounding grace,
He works salvation in our hearts,
And forms a people for his praise.

Verse 3

’Twas his own purpose that begun
To rescue rebels doom’d to die;
He gave us grace in Christ his Son
Before he spread the starry sky.

Verse 4

Jesus the Lord appears at last,
And makes his Father’s counsels known;
Declares the great transactions past,
And brings immortal blessings down.

Verse 5

He dies; and in that dreadful night
Did all the powers of hell destroy;
Rising he brought our heaven to light,
And took possession of the joy.
