Jesus, Our Mighty Lord

Jesus, our mighty Lord, our strength in sadness,
the Father's conquering Word, true source of gladness;
your name we glorify, O Jesus, throned on high;
you gave yourself to die for our salvation.

Notes

ROSE-MARIE was one of several tunes submitted for this text during a hymn search announced by the Psalter Hymnal Revision Committee. Dutch musician Wim Mennes composed ROSE-MARIE for this text in 1984 in Noordwolde, the Netherlands. The tune is named in honor of Mennes's daughter.

ROSE-MARIE thrives on melodic repetitions and sequences. Sing in unison. Accompany modestly at first but use greater force for the final stanza.
