His Word Was with Power

There’s pow’r, mighty pow’r in the word of the King;
He speaks, and the captive is free;
The lips of the dumb with rejoicing shall sing;
O speak, blessèd Savior, to me!

Refrain

O the pow’r, mighty pow’r,
In the word of my Savior and King!
O the pow’r, mighty pow’r!
For Jesus salvation shall bring.

There’s pow’r, mighty pow’r in the pardoning word;
He said, “Go, and sin now no more!”
How sweet was the hour when forgiveness I heard,
And mercy had opened the door!

Refrain

There’s pow’r, mighty pow’r in the word of the Lord,
And strength He will give, when we pray,
To follow His footsteps, His goodness record,
And walk in love’s beautiful way.
