With Christ Our Theme Begins

by Charles Wesley


Tune: Lischer 6.6.6.6.8.8.


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.
