[ 3 John was the Prophet of the Lord, To go before his Face; The Herald which our Saviour-God Sent to prepare his Ways. 4 He makes the great Salvation known, He speaks of pardon'd Sins; While Grace Divine, and heav'nly Love, In its own Glory shines. 5 "Behold the Lamb of God," he cries, "That takes our Guilt away: "I saw the Spirit o'er his Head, "On his Baptizing Day.] 6 "Be ev'ry Vale exalted high, "Sink ev'ry Mountain low; "The Proud must stoop, and humble Souls "Shall his salvation know. 7 "The Heathen Realms with Israel's land "Shall join in sweet Accord; "And all that's born of Man shall see "The Glory of the Lord. 8 "Behold the Morning-Star arise, "Ye that in Darkness sit; "He marks the Path that leads to Peace, "And guides our doubtful Feet."

Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King

Hymnal: CD1791 #LIII (1791) Scripture: Luke 23:39-43 Lyrics: 1 Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King When on the Cross the Saviour hung, His Grace a dying Thief did bring, To own him with his Heart and Tongue. 2 Our Malefactor scorn'd Christ's Name, The other did his Sin reprove; Then said by Faith to God's dear Lamb, "Remember me O Lord above." 3 What noble Faith in him appear'd, That he could trust a dying Lord! He soon the blessed Jesus heard pronounce this sweet reviving Word; 4 "Amen, this Day thy Soul shall be "With me in Paradise above." This made the dying Pris'ner free; These Words were full of boundless Love. 5 What Comfort did this Speech convey, To his poor guilty wretched Mind! When thus he heard the Saviour say, Great Peace the Criminal did find. 6 Thus Jesus Christ forgave the Thierf, And shew'd great Mercy to the Man; So in the midst of Woe and Grief, His Joy and Happiness began. 7 O how he sings the Saviour's Praise, Who took him at the very last, When he his youthful Strength and Days In Satan's Cause had spent and past! 8 Now he adores God's holy Name, And stands before the Saviours Face; And will eternally proclaim The boundless Riches of his Grace!
