We'll sing the power of him who died
His people to redeem;
He is our Saviour, true and tried,
And he shall be our theme.
For he is precious in the sight
Of all who know his voice:
‘Twas he who brought us to the light,
And taught us to rejoice.
From worldly snares, and Satan’s wile,
He guards us by his power;
And keeps us safe from force and guile
In every trying hour.
And till his ransomed people come,
His house above to fill,
’Tis he who safely guides them home,
Beyond the reach of ill.
Then let us ever make our boast
Of him, and him alone,
Who came from heaven to seek the lost,
And bring us to his throne.
