The year is gone, another dawns
The Powerful Word That Reared The Skies
Author: Daniel Turner Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The powerful Word that reared the skies Lyrics:
1 The powerful Word that reared the skies,
Calls thro’ the world, "Ye dead, arise";
The opening graves that Word obey,
And death and hell resign their prey.
2 Sinners with horror and amaze,
Feel wrath divine upon them seize;
The saints with joyful looks appear,
And forms and smiles celestial wear.
3 Grace in them now triumphant reigns,
Freed from temptations, sins, and pains,
As angels pure, as cherubs gay,
Dressed in immortal light as they.
4 O could I say Jesus is mine,
Hope thus to rise, and thus to shine!
Death would no horrid aspect have,
Nor darkness then begloom the grave.
5 In hopes of that illustrious day,
That power and grace to change my clay;
Cheerful I’d lay me down to rest,
In that cold bed my Savior blest.
