Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, To the former days belong.

Holiest hearts for ages pleading, Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits; Ev’ry humble spirit shares it, Christ has passed the eternal gates. 3 Life eternal! heav’n rejoices: Jesus lives who once was dead; Shout with joy, O deathless voices! Child of God, lift up your head! Patriarchs from distant ages, Saints all longing for their heav'n, Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, All await the glory giv'n. 4 Life eternal! O what wonders Crowd on faith; what joy unknown, When, amidst earth's closing thunders, Saints shall stand before the throne! O to enter that bright portal, See that glowing firmament, Know, with you, O God immortal, Jesus Christ whom you have sent! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

He lives in us, the Christ of God

And if enticing sin grows strong, when human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights with us, and prevails. 3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems — by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons; who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleads with God for us in words we could not say. 3 God gave his Son to save us all — no other love like this! then shall he ever turn away from those he marks as his? And God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; so none can tear us from his love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture: Romans 8 Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)
