Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Louise Henrietta von Brandenburg Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #444 (1930) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal 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 must 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 am I bound
To my Lord by hope forever.
Faith's strong hand the Rock has found,
Grasped it and will leave it never.
Now not even death can part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4 Savior, draw away our heart
Now from pleasures base and hollow;
Let us there with Thee have part,
Here on earth Thy footsteps follow.
Fix our hearts beyond the skies,
Whither we ourselves would rise.
5 Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave
And at death no longer tremble.
He who came the world to save
Will at last His own assemble.
They will go their Lord to meet,
Leaving death beneath their feet.

Jesus Christ, my sure Defence
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.
Jesus, my Redeemer, lives!
I too unto life must waken;
He will have me where He is,
Shall my courage then be shaken?
Shall I fear? Or could the Head
Rise and leave its members dead?
Nay, too closely am I bound
Unto Him by hope for ever;
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.
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.
Then take comfort, nay, rejoice,
For His members Christ will cherish;
Fear not, they will know His voice,
Though awhile they seem to perish,
When the final trump is heard,
And the deaf, cold grave is stirred.
Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave,
And at death no longer tremble,
For the Lord, who comes to save,
Round Him shall His saints assemble,
Raising them o'er all their foes,
Mortal weakness, fear, and woes.
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 heart beyond the skies,
Whither ye yourselves would rise!

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;
He will have me where He is:
Should my courage then be shaken?
Should I fear? Or can the Head
Rise and leave its 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 shall see God with these eyes,
Shall behold my blessed Savior;
I, the selfsame, shall arise,
In my flesh see God forever;
Then shall wholly disappear
Frailties that oppress me here.
5 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs,
Christ with Him to 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.
6 Saviour, draw away our heart
From all pleasures base and hollow;
Let us there with Thee have part,
Here on earth Thy footsteps follow;
Fix our hearts beyond the skies,
Whither we ourselves would rise.

Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope he's giving,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.

I, too, unto life shall waken.

Unto dust, whence I am taken;

With my Savior to abide
In his glory, at his side.
