368. Let Christian faith and hope dispel

1 Let Christian faith and hope dispel
the fears of guilt and woe;
the Lord Almighty is our friend,
and who can prove a foe?

2 The Saviour died, but rose again
triumphant from the grave,
and pleads our cause at God’s right hand,
omnipotent to save.

3 Who then can e’er divide us more
from Jesus' saving love,
or break the sacred chain that binds
the earth to heaven above?

4 Let troubles rise and terrors frown,
and days of darkness fall;
through Christ all dangers we’ll defy,
and more than conquer all.

5 Nor death nor life, nor earth, nor hell,
nor time’s destroying sway
can e’er erase us from his heart,
or make his love decay.

6 Each future period that will bless
as it has blessed the past;
Christ loved us from the first of time;
Christ loves us to the last.
