Jesus, the Truth and Power Divine

Jesus

the Truth and Pow­er di­vine

Send forth this mes­sen­ger of Thine;

His hands con­firm

his heart in­spire

And touch his lips with hal­lowed fire.

Be Thou his mouth and wi­sdom

Lord;

Thou

by the ham­mer of Thy Word

The roc­ky hearts in piec­es break

And bid the son of thun­der speak.

To those who would their Lord em­brace

Give him to preach the word of grace;

Sweetly their yield­ing bo­som move

And melt them with the fire of love.

Let all with thank­ful hearts con­fess

Thy wel­come mes­sen­ger of peace;

Thy pow­er in his re­port be found

And let Thy feet be­hind him sound.
