“If today you are weighed down with the burden of sin, The Lord can deliver you. If you are facing difficult trials He will walk through them with you and comfort you. And He has promised to give His children their permanent home in Heaven. What a joy and grand theme to know that He will deliver us. Deliverance from sin, rescue from trials, and escape from the influence of a world in the control of the evil one come only through Christ, the Son of God” (Barry Kauffman – from his blog, Hymns with A Message. click here to read his comments on this hymn.
HE IS ABLE TO DELIVER THEE
Text: William A. Ogden
Music: William A. Ogden
1887
‘Tis the grandest theme thro’ the ages rung;
‘Tis the grandest theme for a mortal tongue;
‘Tis the grandest theme that the world e’er sung:
Our God is able to deliver thee.
He is able to deliver thee,
He is able to deliver thee;
Tho’ by sin oppressed,
Go to Him for rest;
Our God is able to deliver thee.
‘Tis the grandest theme in the earth or main;
‘Tis the grandest theme for a mortal strain;
‘Tis the grandest theme, tell the world again:
Our God is able to deliver thee.
He is able to deliver thee,
He is able to deliver thee;
Tho’ by sin oppressed,
Go to Him for rest;
Our God is able to deliver thee.
‘Tis the grandest theme, let the tidings roll
To the guilty heart, to the sinful soul;
Look to God in faith, He will make thee whole:
Our God is able to deliver thee.
He is able to deliver thee,
He is able to deliver thee;
Tho’ by sin oppressed,
Go to Him for rest;
Our God is able to deliver thee.
