Laudes Domini ‎#662

662. "We are the Lord's"

1 We are the Lord's; his all-sufficient merit,
Sealed on the cross, to us this grace accords;
We are the Lord's, and all things shall inherit;
Whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

2 We are the Lord's; then let us gladly tender
Our souls to him, in deeds, not empty words;
Let heart and tongue, and life, combine to render
No doubtful witness that we are the Lord's.

3 We are the Lord's; no darkness brooding o'er us
Can make us tremble, while this star affords
A steady light along the path before us--
Faith's full assurance that we are the Lord's.

4 We are the Lord's; no evil can befall us
In the dread hour of life's fast loosening cords;
No pangs of death shall even then appal us;
Death we shall vanquish, for we are the Lord's.
