CCCVII. After Sermon

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.
