Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense
Author: Luise Henriette of Brandenburg; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3223 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Incipit: 53671 17616 54321 Lyrics: 1. Jesus Christ, my sure Defense
And my Savior, 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.
Endless joy my Savior gives;
Shall my courage, then, be shaken?
Shall I fear, or could the Head
Rise and leave His members dead?
3. Nay, too closely I am bound
Unto Him by hope forever;
Faith’s strong hand the Rock hath 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
Unto dust, whence I am taken;
But by faith I now discern
That from death I shall awaken
With my Savior to abide
In His glory, at His side.
5. Glorified, I shall anew
With this flesh then be enshrouded;
In this body I shall view
God, my Lord, with eyes unclouded;
In this flesh I then shall see
Jesus Christ eternally.
6. Then these eyes my Lord shall know,
My Redeemer and my Brother;
In His love my soul shall glow—
I myself, and not another!
Then the weakness I feel here
Shall forever disappear.
7. They who sorrow here and moan
There in gladness shall be reigning;
Earthly here the seed is sown,
There immortal life attaining,
Here our sinful bodies die,
Glorified to dwell on high.
8. Then take comfort and rejoice,
For His members Christ will cherish.
Fear not, they will hear His voice;
Dying, they shall never perish;
For the very grave is stirred
When the trumpet’s blast is heard.
9. Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave
And at death no longer tremble;
He, the Lord, who came to save
Will at last His own assemble.
They will go their Lord to meet,
Treading death beneath their feet.
10. Oh, then draw away your hearts
Now from pleasures base and hollow.
There to share what He imparts,
Here His footsteps ye must follow.
Fix your hearts beyond the skies,
Whither ye yourselves would rise. Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Author: Louisa Henrietta, Electress of Brandenburgh Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #12 (1886) Incipit: 54367 11767 15434 Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure Defense
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 must waken;
Endless joy my Saviour gives;
Shall my courage then be shaken?
Shall I fear? How could the Head
Rise and leave His 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 am only flesh and blood,
And on this corruption seizeth,
But I know, my Lord and God
From the grave my body raiseth,
That with Him eternally
In His glory I may be.
5 Glorified I shall again
With this skin then be enshrouded,
In this body I shall then
See my God with eyes unclouded,
In this flesh I then shall see
Jesus Christ eternally.
6 Then these eyes my Lord shall know,
My Redeemer and my Brother;
In His love my soul shall glow,--
I myself, and not another!
Only there shall disappear
Weakness in and round me here.
7 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs,
Christ with Him in 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.
8 Then take comfort, nay, rejoice,
For His members Christ will cherish;
Fear not, they will hear His voice,
Though awhile they seem to perish,
When the final trump is heard,
And the deaf, cold grave is stirred.
9 Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave,
And at death no longer tremble,
For the Lord, who came to save,
Round Him shall His saints assemble,
Raising them o'er all their foes,
Mortal weakness, fear, and woes.
10 Only draw away your heart
Now from pleasures base and hollow;
Would ye there with Christ have part,
Here His footsteps ye must follow;
Fix your hearts beyond the skies,

Unto dust, whence I am taken;
But by faith I now discern
That from death I shall awaken
With my Savior to abide
In His glory, at His side.
5 Glorified, I shall anew
With this flesh then be enshrouded;
In this body I shall view
God, my Lord, with eyes unclouded,
In this flesh I then shall see
Jesus Christ eternally.
6 Then these eyes my Lord shall know,
My Redeemer and my Brother;
In His love my soul shall glow
I myself, and not another!
Then the weakness I feel here
Shall forever disappear.
7 They who sorrow here and moan
There in gladness shall be reigning;
Earthly here the seed is sown,
There immortal life attaining.
Here our sinful bodies die,
Glorified to dwell on high.
8 Then take comfort and rejoice,
For His members Christ will cherish.
Fear not, they will hear His voice;
Dying, they shall never perish;
For the very grave is stirred
When the trumpet's blast is heard.
9 Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave
And at death no longer tremble;
He, the Lord, who came to save
Will at last His own assemble.
They will go their Lord to meet,
Treading death beneath their feet.
10 O that ye would set your hearts
High above all earthy pleasures.
Take instead what He imparts
Who hath giv'n you lasting treasures.
There your heart's affections give
Where ye shall forever live.

Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense
Jesus Lives, My Sure Defense
Author: Otto von Schwerin, 1616-1679; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #621 (2006) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Incipit: 54367 11767 15434 Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives, my sure defense
and my everlasting Savior!
Knowing this, my confidence
rests in hope and will not waver,
though the night of death be fraught
still with many an anxious thought.
2 Jesus, my redeemer, lives;
I too unto life shall waken.
Bright the hope this promise gives;
shall my courage, then, be shaken?
Shall I fear then? Can the head
rise and leave his members dead?
3 No, too closely am I bound
unto him by hope 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
unto dust, whence I am taken.
But these eyes my Lord will know
when from death I shall awaken,
with my Savior to abide
in his glory, at his side.
5 Then take comfort and rejoice,
for his people Christ will cherish.
Fear not, they will hear his voice;
dying, they shall never perish;
for the very grave is stirred
when the trumpet's blast is heard.
6 Here on earth, then, let your hearts
rise from longings vain and hollow.
Seek what Christ your Lord imparts
while you in his footsteps follow.
As you now still wait to rise,
set your hearts beyond the skies! Topics: Hope, Assurance; Easter; Hope, Assurance; Journey, Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

And my Savior, now is living!
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope here given,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with 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, too closely I am 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.

To the dust, whence I am taken;
But by faith I now discern

They will go their Lord to meet,
Treading death beneath their feet.
8 O, 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! Topics: Death and Burial Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:34-58 Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT
