Not By Thy Mighty Hand

Verse 1

Not by Thy mighty hand, Thy wondrous works alone, But by the marvels of Thy Word, Thy glory, Lord, is known.

Verse 2

Forth from the eternal gates, Thine everlasting home, To sow the seed of truth below, Thou didst vouchsafe to come.

Verse 3

And still from age to age, Thou, gracious Lord hast been The bearer forth of goodly seed, The sower still unseen.

Verse 4

And Thou wilt come again, And heaven beneath Thee bow, To reap the harvest Thou hast sown, Sower and reaper Thou.

Verse 5

Watch, Lord, Thou harvest-field, With Thine unsleeping eye, The children of the kingdom keep To Thy Epihany;

Verse 6

That, when in Thy great day, The tares shall severed be, We may be surely gathered in With all Thy saints to Thee. Amen.
