Zion's Harp ‎#121

121. We welcome now our Saviour

1 We welcome now our Saviour,
Who lay in calm repose,
For over death he triumphed
And from the grave He rose.

2 O Lord, Thou hast now conquered
That strong and crafty foe;
This giveth faith and comfort,
For God is with us now!

3 The peace, which Thou hast brought us,
All fear has put to flight;
The righteous now in chorus
Are singing with delight!

4 May we with consolation,
Thy trophies with Thee share.
O, that this great salvation,
Extend here ev’rywhere!

5 Our sins have all been buried
There in the grave with Thee.
Oh, what a blessed comfort;
We fear no enemy!

6 Lord, for this great salvation
Be Thou forever praised,
That after life’s temptations
To heaven we’ll be raised.

7 We shall without despairing
Go with Thee to the grave,
And we Thy face beholding,
May be forever safe.

8 Extend Thy banner o’er us,
And guide us to the goal!
Beyond the grave and darkness
To heaven lead our souls.

9 What is there now to harm us?
Of death we have no fear;
We have in our Lord Jesus
Found grace and mercy here!
