CCXVI. Victory over Death

1 O for an over-coming Faith
To chear my dying Hours;
To Triumph o'er the Monster Death,
And all his frightful Pow'rs!

2 Joyful with all the Strength I have
My quiv'ring Lips should sing-
Where is thy boasted Vict'ry Grave?
And where the Monster's Sting?

3 If Sin be pardon'd, I'm secure,
Death hath no Sting besides;
The Law gives Sin its damning Pow'r;
But Christ, my Ransom, dy'd.

4 Now to the God of Victory
Immortal Thanks be paid,
Who makes us conqu'rors while we die,
Throu'h Christ our living Head.
