Lyics

ARM of the Lord, awake! awake!

Put on thy strength, the nations shake;

And let the world, adoring, see

Triumphs of mercy wrought by thee.



Say to the heathen, from thy throne,

"I am Jehovah-God alone!"

Thy voice their idols shall confound,

And cast their altars to the ground.



No more let human blood be spilt-

Vain sacrifice for human guilt-

But to each conscience be applied

The blood that flowed from Jesus' side.



Almighty God, thy grace proclaim

In every land, of every name;

Let adverse powers before thee fall,

And crown the Saviour Lord of all.
