101. We Bless Thee, O Thou Great Amen
8,8,6.
by R. Hawker, 1831
We bless Thee, O Thou great Amen!
Jehovah’s pledge to sinful men,
Doubtful no promises remain,
For all are Yea, and all Amen,
In Thee, the faithful Lord.
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.” (Revelation 3:14)
How great the grace of God to bless
By Thee, the Lord, our righteousness!
For to us all things thus are sure,
Through life, in death, and evermore,
O faithful Witness of our God,
Who cam’st by water and by blood!
God’s record doth forever stand,
Of life eternal, from His hand,
Gladly His promises we hear,
For God’s "Amen" dispels all fear,
His faithfulness it proves;
And while such grace from God is shown,
To His Amen we add our own,
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)
“If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” (2 Timothy 2:13)
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” (Hebrews 10:23)
