Omnipotent Lord, My Savior and King

Omnipotent Lord

my Sav­ior and king

Thy suc­cor af­ford

Thy right­eous­ness bring;

Thy pro­mis­es bind Thee com­pass­ion to have

Now

now let me find Thee al­migh­ty to save.

Rejoicing in hope

and pa­tient in grief

To Thee I look up for cer­tain re­lief;

I fear no de­ni­al

no dan­ger I fear

Nor start from the tri­al

while Je­sus is near.

I ev­ery hour in jeo­par­dy stand;

But Thou art my pow­er

and hold­est my hand;

While yet I am call­ing

Thy suc­cor I feel

It saves me from fall­ing

or plucks me from hell.

O who can ex­plain this strug­gle for life!

This tra­vail and pain

this trem­bling and strife!

Plague

earth­quake

and fa­mine

and tu­mult

and war

The won­der­ful com­ing of Je­sus de­clare.

For ev­ery fight is dread­ful and loud

The war­ri­or’s de­light is slaugh­ter and blood

His foes ov­er­turn­ing

till all shall ex­pire;

But this is with burn­ing and fu­el of fire.

Yet God is above men

dev­ils

and sin

My Je­sus’ love the bat­tle shall win

So ter­ri­bly glo­ri­ous His com­ing shall be

His love all vic­tor­ious shall con­quer for me.

He all shall break through; His truth and His grace

Shall bring me into the plen­ti­ful place

Through much tri­bu­la­tion

through wa­ter and fire

Through floods of temp­ta­tion

and flames of de­sire.

On Je­sus

my pow­er

till then I rely

All ev­il be­fore His pre­sence shall fly;

When I have my Sav­ior

my sin shall de­part

And Je­sus for ev­er shall reign in my heart.
