Lyrics

’Tis the grand­est theme through the ag­es rung;
’Tis the grand­est theme for a mor­tal tongue;
’Tis the grand­est theme that the world e’er sung,
Our God is able to de­liv­er thee.

Refrain

He is able to de­liv­er thee,
He is able to de­liv­er thee;
Though by sin op­pressed, go to Him for rest;
Our God is able to de­liv­er thee.

’Tis the grand­est theme in the earth or main;
’Tis the grand­est theme for a mor­tal strain;
’Tis the grand­est theme, tell the world again,
Our God is able to de­liv­er thee.

Refrain

’Tis the grand­est theme, let the tid­ings roll,
To the guil­ty heart, to the sin­ful soul;
Look to God in faith, He will make thee whole,
Our God is able to de­liv­er thee.
