I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And, with unfaltering voice and heart, I call this Saviour mine.

Verse 2

His cross dispels each doubth; I bury in his tomb Each thought of unbelief and fear, Each lingering shade of gloom.

Verse 3

I praise the God of grace; I trust his truth and might; He calls me his, I call him mine, My God, my joy, my light.

Verse 4

'Tis he wo saveth me, And freely pardon gives; I love because he loveth me, I live because he lives.

My life with him is hied, My death has passed away, My clouds have melted into light, My midnight into day.
