Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 50:7-9 Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me, I may a host defy; For when I pray, before me My foes, confounded, fly. If Christ, the head and master, Befriend me from above, What foe or what disaster Can drive me from His love? 2 I build on this foundation, That Jesus and his blood Alone are my salvation, My true, eternal good. Without Him all that pleases Is valueless on earth; The gifts I have from Jesus Alone have priceless worth. 3 Christ Jesus is my splendor, My sun, my light, alone; Were He not my defender Before God’s judgment throne, I never should find favor And mercy in His sight But be destroyed forever As darkness by the light. 4 He canceled my offenses, Delivered me from death; He is the Lord who cleanses My soul from sin through faith. In Him I can be cheerful, Courageous on my way; In Him I am not fearful Of God's great Judgment Day. 5 For no one can condemn me Or set my hope aside; Now hell no more can claim me; Its fury I deride. No sentence now reproves me, No guilt destroys my peace; For Christ, my Savior, loves me And shields me with His grace. 6 Who clings with resolution To Him whom Satan hates Must look for persecution; For him the burden waits Of mock'ry, shame, and losses Heaped on his blameless head; A thousand plagues and crosses Will be his daily bread. 7 From me this is not hidden, Yet am I not afraid; I leave my cares, as bidden, To whom my vows were paid. Though life from me be taken And ev'rything I own, I trust in You unshaken And cleave to You alone. 8 No danger, thirst, or hunger, No pain or poverty, No earthly tyrant's anger Shall ever vanquish me. Though earth should break asunder, My fortress You shall be; No fire or sword or thunder Shall sever You from me. 9 No angel and no gladness, No throne, no pomp, no show, No love, no hate, no sadness, No pain, no depth of woe, No scheming, no contrivance, No subtle thing or great Shall draw me from Your guidance Nor from You separate. 10 My heart with joy is springing; I am no longer sad. My soul is filled with singing; Your sunshine makes me glad. The sun that cheers my spirit Is Jesus Christ, my King; The heav'n I shall inherit Makes me rejoice and sing.
