Let Christian faith and hope dispel
The fears of guilt and woe;
The Lord Almighty is our Friend,
And who can prove a foe?

He who his Son, most dear and loved,
Gave up for us to die,
Shall he not all things freely give
That goodness can supply?

Behold the best, the greatest gift,
Of everlasting love!
Behold the pledge of peace below,
And perfect bliss above!

Where is the judge that can condemn,
Since God hath justified?
Who shall charge those with guilt or crime
For whom the Saviour died?

The Saviour 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?
