130. With Christ Our Theme Begins

6,6,6,6,8,8.
by C. Wesley
1
With Christ our theme begins,
 
The Lord of truth and love;
 
When He had purged our sins,
 
He took His seat above.
 
Our hearts are glad; we raise the voice;
 
The Lord has made us to rejoice.
2
His power can never fail,
 
He’ll rule o’er earth, in heaven;
 
The keys of death and hell
 
To Him alone are given.
 
Our hearts are glad; we raise the voice;
 
The Lord has made us to rejoice.
3
And sweet that blessèd hope:
 
Jesus, the Lord, shall come,
 
And take His brethren up
 
E’en to His Father’s home.
 
Our hearts are glad; we raise the voice;
 
The Lord has made us to rejoice.
