Mighty, Yet Meek

lyricist: Eli Corwin, 1879
Composer: Emma Morton

Mighty

yet meek

He comes to seek

And save the lost;

To bring us peace

And sweet re­lease

At count­less cost

At count­less cost.

Ye hearts that bleed

The bruis­èd reed

He will not break.

The smol­der­ing fire

Shall not ex­pire

He bids it wake

He bids it wake.

Prisoners of hope

Who help­less grope

In dun­geon cells;

Lo

Je­sus comes

And from the tombs

Darkness dis­pels

Darkness dis­pels.

Behold our king

Shall judg­ment bring

And right shall reign.

The blind shall see

And cap­tives be

Unbound again

Unbound again.

Haste

bring the light

That scat­ters night;

The na­tions wait

Lord not in vain

For Thee to reign

In roy­al state

In roy­al state.
