Assist me to sing,
And strike the soft Lyre,
And honour our King;
His mighty Salvation
Demands all our Praise,
Our blest Adoration,
And loftiest Lays.
2. All Glory to GOD,
Who ruleth on high,
And now hath bestow'd,
And sent from the Sky
CHRIST JESUS, the Saviour,
Poor Mortals to bless;
The Pledge of his Favour,
The Seal of their Peace.
Psalm 19:1 says "The heavens declare the Glory of God!" Think of how this was fulfilled on that "beautiful scandalous night" when the Heavenly choir broke out in this chorus. God & sinners now reconciled in the Son, who restores us to the favor of God, and establishing his reign of peace (peace = the Presence of Christ).
I'm constantly reminded of the common description of God's salvation as "mighty". The atonement wrought in Christ is both a demonstration and act of the tender love of God towards humanity and requires a divine strength to rescue and rip us from the grip of evil in our lives. Yes, God's salvation is indeed Mighty!
