130: WITH Christ our theme begins

130: WITH Christ our theme begins

by C. Wesley (1707-1788)

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 blessed 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.
