And Are We Yet Alive

Charles Wesley (1749) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 46:30

Verse 1

And are we yet alive, And see each other's face? Glory and praise to Jesus give For His redeeming grace.

Verse 2

Preserved by power divine To full salvation here, Again in Jesus' praise we join, And in His sight appear.

Verse 3

What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we passed, Fightings without, and fears within, Since we assembled last.

Verse 4

But out of all the Lord Hath brought us by His love; And still He doth His help afford, And hides our life above.

Verse 5

Then let us make our boast Of His redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more.

Verse 6

Let us take up the cross Till we the crown obtain; And gladly reckon all things loss, So we may Jesus gain.
