Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 The Saviour died, but rose again
triumphant from the grave;
and pleads our cause at God's right hand,
omnipotent to save.
2 Who then can e'er divide us more
from Jesus and his love,
or break the sacred chain that binds
the earth to heaven above?
3 Let troubles rise, and terrors frown,
and days of darkness fall;
through him all dangers we'll defy,
and more than conquer all.
4 Nor death nor life, nor earth nor hell,
nor time's destroying sway,
can e'er efface us from his heart,
or make his love decay.
5 Each future period that will bless,
as it has blessed the past:
he loved us from the first of time,
he loves us to the last. Scripture: Romans 8:34-39 Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW (TANS'UR) Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781
