Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #439 (1888) First Line: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord's elect condemn?
'Tis God who justifies their souls;
And mercy, like a mighty stream,
O'er all their sins divinely rolls.
2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell?
'Tis Christ who suffered in their stead;
And their salvation to fulfill,
Behold him rising from the dead!
3 He lives! he lives! and sits above,
For ever interceding there:
Who shall divide us from his love,
Or what shall tempt us to despair?
4 Shall persecution or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness?
He who hath loved us bears us through,
And makes us more than conquerors too.
5 Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below,
Shall cause his mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ, our love. Topics: Christians Privileges; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Covenant Divine Scripture: John 10:29 Languages: English Tune Title: WARRINGTON
