His glorious arm the strife main-tained, He marched in might from far;

2 To Thee and to Thy Christ, O God,
We sing,we ever sing;
For He invaded Death's abode,
And robbed him of his sting.
The house of dust enthralls no more,
For He, the Strong to save,
Himself doth guard that silent door,
Great Keeper of the grave.

3 To Thee and to Thy Christ, O God, We sing,we ever sing;

For He hath crushed beneath His rod
The world's proud rebel king.

He plunged in His imperial strength
To gulfs of darkness down;
He brought His trophy up at length, -
The foiled usurper's crown.

4 To Thee and to Thy Christ, O God, We sing,we ever sing;

For He redeemed us with His blood
From every evil thing.

Thy saving strength His arm upbore,
The arm that set us free;
Glory, O God, for evermore
Be to Thy Christ and Thee.

Lord! am I pre-cious in Thy sight? Lord! would'st Thou have me Thine?

What may I grieve, may

I de light The Maj - es ty Di-vine? A-MEN.

2 O Holy Spirit! dost Thou mourn When I from Thee depart?

Dost Thou rejoice when I return
And give Thee back my heart?

4 Strange height of sin, to spurn the love That yearns to make me blest,

And drive away the Heavenly Dove
That fain would be my guest!

3 O sweet, strange height of Grace Divine, 5 O happy Heaven, where Thine embrace

My sin Thy grief to make,

And this poor faithfulness of mine

For Thy delight to take!

I never more shall leave, Nor ever cast away Thy grace,

Nor once Thy Spirit grieve!

6 Let me, dear Lord, each grace possess
That makes Thy Heaven more bright,

And bring the humble holiness

That gives my God delight.

Thomas H. Gill
