Let Christian Faith and Hope Dispel

Let Christ­ian faith and hope dis­pel

The fears of guilt and woe;

The Lord Al­migh­ty is our friend

And who can prove a foe?

The Sav­ior died

but rose again

Triumphant from the grave:

And pleads our cause at God’s right hand

Omnipotent to save.

Who then can e’er di­vide us more

From Je­sus and His love

Or break the sac­red chain that binds

The earth to Heav’n above?

Let trou­bles rise

and ter­rors frown

And days of dark­ness fall;

Through Him all dan­gers we’ll de­fy

And more than con­quer all.

Nor death

nor life

nor earth

nor hell

Nor time’s de­stroy­ing sway

Can e’er ef­face us from His heart

Or make His love de­cay.

Each fu­ture pe­ri­od that will bless

As it has blessed the past;

He loved us from the first of time

He loves us to the last.
