O mighty God, thou virgin's Son

Paul Henkel • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 2

Verse 1

O Mighty God, thou virgin son! Jesus, my Lord and King! Thou art my Saviour, thou alone, Who dost salvation bring:

Verse 2

Not any who on earth do dwell, Not Kings of might and pow'r; Nor Angels who do far excel, Could save us ev'r more.

Verse 3

Such as the fallen Angels are, Such was our wretched case, Condemn'd to horror and dispair And infinite disgrace.

Verse 4

The covenant that Adam broke, Has caus'd our wretched state: And thus we feel the heavy yoke Of sin and all its weight.

Verse 5

But O, thy mercy and thy love! And grace for us design'd: Will ever more effectual prove, To change the carnal mind.
