All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in earth.

Words: James M. Gray, 1903.
Music: Daniel B. Towner (🔊 pdf nwc).
Christ Jesus hath the power,
The power to forgive,
The power to quicken whom He will,
And make the sinner live.
Christ Jesus hath the power,
O tell it far and near!
O bring to Him your guilty heart,
And grace shall banish fear!
Refrain
Christ Jesus hath the power,
The power of God He wields!
Christ Jesus hath the power,
My heart surrender yields!
Christ Jesus hath the power,
I trust Him evermore!
Christ Jesus hath the power,
I worship and adore!
Christ Jesus hath the power,
The power to renew,
The power to cleanse your heart from sin,
And make you wholly true.
Christ Jesus hath the power
For evermore to keep;
O none can pluck you from His hand,
Or rob Him of His sheep!
Refrain
Christ Jesus hath the power,
The power to console,
The power to carry all your care—
On Him your burdens roll.
Christ Jesus hath the power,
To wipe the tear away;
O place in Him your confidence!
O trust Him, and obey!
Refrain
Christ Jesus hath the power,
The power to destroy,
The power to bruise your enemy
Who would your soul annoy.
Christ Jesus hath the power,
When on your dying bed,
To give your soul the victory,
The power to raise the dead!
Refrain
