The Triumph of Faith

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: John 10:29

Verse 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.

Verse 2

He lives! He lives! and sits above, Forever interceding there: Who shall divide us from His love, Or what should tempt us to despair?

Verse 3

Shall persecution, or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness? He who hath loved us bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too.

Verse 4

Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, proud powers below, Shall cause His mercy to remove, Or wean our hearts from Christ, our Love.
