Jesus Christ, my sure defence

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #180 (1898) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Sickness, Death, and Burial Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defence And my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I, too, unto life shall waken; He will have me where He is: Should my courage then be shaken? Should I fear? Or can the Head Rise and leave its members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope forever; Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never: Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I shall see God with these eyes, Shall behold my blessed Savior; I, the selfsame, shall arise, In my flesh see God forever; Then shall wholly disappear Frailties that oppress me here. 5 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs, Christ with Him to glory bringeth; Earthly is the seed and dies, Heavenly from the grave it springeth; Natural is the death we die, Spiritual, our life on high. 6 Saviour, draw away our heart From all pleasures base and hollow; Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy footsteps follow; Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise.

O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 7 Meanwhile in God I live contented, Or die without an anxious thought. Where He doth lead, there will I follow, For I believe without a doubt, Through faith, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake, all shall be well.

Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense

Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope here given Though the night of death be caught Still in many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my redeemer, lives; Likewise I to life shall waken. He will bring me where he is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear, or could the head Rise and leave his members dead? 3 No, I am too closely bound By my hope to Christ forever; Faith's strong hand the rock has found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Even death now cannot part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am flesh and must return To the dust, whence I am taken; But by faith I now discern That from death I will awaken With my Savior to abide In his glory, at his side. 5 Then these eyes my Lord will know, My redeemer and my brother; In his love my soul will glow-- I myself and not another! Then the weakness I feel here Will forever disappear. 6 Then take comfort and rejoice, For his members Christ will cherish. Fear not, they will hear his voice; Dying, they will never perish; For the very grave is stirred When the trumpet's blast is heard. 7 Oh, then, draw away your hearts From all pleasures base and hollow. Strive to share what he imparts While you here his footsteps follow. As you now still wait to rise, Fix your hearts beyond the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT
