Lyrics

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.
