I Am, Saith Christ

I am

saith Christ

our glo­ri­ous head

(May we at­tent­ion give)

“The re­sur­rect­ion of the dead

The life of all that live.

“By faith in Me

the soul re­ceives

New life

though dead be­fore;

And he that in My name be­lieves

Shall live

to die no more.

The sin­ner

sleep­ing in his grave

Shall at My voice awake;

And when I once be­gin to save

My work I ne’er for­sake.

Fulfill Thy pro­mise

gra­cious Lord

On us as­sem­bled here;

Put forth Thy spir­it with the Word

And cause the dead to hear.

Preserve the pow­er of faith alive

In those who love Thy name;

For sin and Sa­tan dai­ly strive

To quench the sac­red flame.

Thy pow­er and mer­cy first pre­vailed

From death to set us free;

And oft­en since our life had failed

If not re­newed by Thee.

To Thee we look

to Thee we bow;

To Thee for help we call;

Our life and re­sur­rect­ion Thou

Our hope

our joy

our all.
