Through Jesus' Blood and Merit

Verse 1

Through Jesus' blood and merit I am at peace with God. What, then, can daunt my spirit, However dark my road? My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Though hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride.

Verse 2

There's nothing that can sever From this great love of God; No want, no pain whatever, No famine, peril, flood. Though thousand foes surround me, For slaughter mark His sheep, They never shall confound me, The vict'ry I shall reap.

Verse 3

For neither life's temptation Nor death's most trying hour Nor angels of high station Nor any other pow'r Nor things that now are present Nor things that are to come Nor height, however pleasant, Nor darkest depths of gloom

Verse 4

Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God This ransomed sinner sever; For in my Savior's blood This love has its foundation; God hears my faithful prayer And long before creation Named me His child and heir.
