In power and glory has risen to reign;
He only is worthy, none else could prevail,
To conquer the dragon and open the seal.

Glory in the highest, peace on earth!
Let your voices ring;
Sing about the blessed Savior’s birth–
He is Lord and King.
Bringing light and gladness, peace, good cheer,
To earth’s lonely dells;
Over all the land today we hear,
Merry Christmas bells!

For Thy promise is written in bright letters that glow,
“Though your sins be as scarlet, I will make them like snow.”
Yes, my name’s written there,
On the page white and fair;
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Yes, [...]

In loving-kindness Jesus came,
My soul in mercy to reclaim,
And from the depths of sin and shame,
Through grace He lifted me.
From sinking sand He lifted me,
With tender hand He lifted me;
From shades of night to plains of light,
O, praise His name, He lifted me!
Now on a higher plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know ’tis [...]
