- Verse 1
- Let Christian faith and hope dispel
- The fears of guilt and woe

- Verse 2
- He who his Son, most dear and loved,
- Gave up for us to die,

- Behold the best, the greatest gift,
- Of everlasting Love!
- Behold the pledge of peace below,
- And perfect bliss above!
- Verse 4
- Where is the judge who can condemn,
- Since God hath justified?
- Who shall charge those with guilt or crime
- For whom the Saviour died?
- Verse 5
- The Savior died, but rose again
- Triumphant from the grave;
- And pleads our cause at God’s right hand
- Omnipotent to save.
- Verse 6
- 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?
- Verse 7
- Let troubles rise, and terrors frown,
- And days of darkness fall;
- Through him all dangers we’ll defy,
- And more than conquer all.
- Verse 8
- 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.
- Verse 9

- As it has blessed the past;
- He loved us from the first of time,
- He loves us to the last.
