Williston Hymns ‎#23

23. He is Able

1 “He is able,” tho’ I am all weakness,
Yet in Him is my weakness made strong;
He that holdeth the stars in their courses
Is my hope and my strength and my song.

Refrain:
“He is able,” I know He is able,
He will keep me! I am trusting in His word;
Life, nor death shall be able to sever
From God’s love in Christ Jesus my Lord.

2 “He is able” to save me in danger,
In temptation, to cause me to stand;
None so strong, but my Lord is yet stronger,
None can pluck my soul out of His hand. [Refrain]

3 “He is able” above all the asking!
“He is able” past all I can think!
Wondrous pow’r of my wonderful Savior
That can save from the uttermost brink. [Refrain]

4 “He is able” to hold me when dying,
In that hour of amazement and stress;
When I pass thro’ the turbulent waters
His strong arm close about me will press. [Refrain]
