Mighty God

Verse 1

Hail, mighty, true and living God, Ancient of everlasting days; Saviour of man, who shed'st thy blood, O teach us, worthily to praise.

Verse 2

Cloth'd with salvation—clad in zeal— Arm'd with the vengeance of a God; That power which long had brius'd the heel, Beneath thy pierced feet was trod:

Verse 3

Spoil'd of his goods—the goods he held In chains of darkness, guile and fraud; The nature which by him rebell'd, Now forms thy great, thy just reward.

Verse 4

Who shall hold back the Saviour's prey? Or keep the captives of his blood? Not earth, nor hell. More strong than they, Christ conquers as the mighty God.
