that all the faithful might enjoy
eternal life above.

that hallowed morn shall chase away
the sorrows of the night. Scripture: Hosea 6:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: KILMARNOCK

and pleads our cause at God’s right hand,
omnipotent to save.

from Jesus' saving love,
or break the sacred chain that binds
the earth to heaven above?

and days of darkness fall;
through Christ all dangers we’ll defy,
and more than conquer all.

nor time’s destroying sway
can e’er erase us from his heart,
or make his love decay.

as it has blessed the past;
Christ loved us from the first of time;
Christ loves us to the last. Scripture: James 2:23 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS
