Victory Over the Fears of Death

Verse 1

O for an overcoming faith, To cheer my dying hours, To triumph o’er the monster, Death, And all his frightful powers.

Verse 2

Joyful with all the strength I have My quivering lips should sing, “Where is thy boasted victory, Grave? And where’s the monster’s sting?”

Verse 3

If sin be pardoned, I’m secure; Death has no sting beside; The law gives sin its damning power, But Christ, my ransom, died.

Verse 4

Now to the God of victory Immortal thanks be paid, Who makes us conquerors, though we die, Through Christ our living Head.
