Mighty to Save and Keep

Barney Elliott Warren • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 63:1

Verse 1

Mighty to save, and mighty to keep, Grace like the ocean, boundless and deep; Will you believe it? will you receive it? Life everlasting reap?

Chorus

Glory to God! I know I’m saved, This is a blessing I have craved; Now I am happy, joyful in glory, Reigning o’er the world by sin depraved.

Verse 2

Mighty to save by power divine, Mighty to keep in this evil time; Watching and praying, trusting, obeying, Thus life is all sublime.

Chorus

Glory to God! I know I’m saved, This is a blessing I have craved; Now I am happy, joyful in glory, Reigning o’er the world by sin depraved.

Verse 3

Mighty to save from sin here below, Mighty to conquer Satan we know; In every trial, or self-denial, Christ reigns o’er every foe.

Chorus

Glory to God! I know I’m saved, This is a blessing I have craved; Now I am happy, joyful in glory, Reigning o’er the world by sin depraved.

Verse 4

Mighty to keep in life’s darkest hour, Mighty to shield us from Satan’s pow’r; Then do not falter, stay on the altar, Christ is our strong, high tow’r.

Chorus

Glory to God! I know I’m saved, This is a blessing I have craved; Now I am happy, joyful in glory, Reigning o’er the world by sin depraved.
