1"Who is this that cometh from Edom... travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save."—Isa. 63: 1. Je - sus! the name high o - ver all, In hell or earth or sky; An - gels and men be - fore it fall, And dev - ils fear and fly. With won-der-ful de - light-ful power Lord!
RefrainMighty to save, mighty to save, He is mighty to save them in ness; Mighty to save, mighty to save, He is mighty to save.
2O why is thou so pa - ral - lel With rock-ing pow all God, Tell them that read the wine-press red! O why are thou things With bless-ing from thy gra-cious feet for ours? Why wag-est thou-sand-ness and beast? Sanc-tion giv'n.
