1. There’s power, mighty power in the word of the King;
He speaks, and the captive is free;
The lips of the dumb with rejoicing shall sing;
O speak, blessèd Savior, to me!

Refrain
O the power, mighty power,
In the word of my Savior and king!
O the power, mighty power!
For Jesus salvation shall bring.

2. There’s pow’r, mighty pow’r in the pardoning word;
He said, Go, and sin now no more!
How sweet was the hour when forgiveness I heard,
And mercy had opened the door! [Refrain]

3. There’s power, mighty power in the word of the Lord,
And strength He will give, when we pray,
To follow His footsteps, His goodness record,
And walk in love’s beautiful way. [Refrain]
