Why should we fear the powers of hell

Verse 1

Why should we fear the powers of Hell, Why should we be afraid? Jesus conquer'd when he fell. And rose our Lord and head.

Verse 2

His tortures and his dying pain, His sorrows and his grief, Have bursted the infernal chain, And purchas'd our relief.

Verse 3

Death is in vict'ry swallow'd up, Our freedom is obtain'd; And Christ who is our life and hope, Hath full redemption gain'd.

Verse 4

Now he has left his silent tomb, And prov'd his mighty power; We shall enjoy the life to come! With him for ever more.

Verse 5

Come let us thank him for his love, With all we can afford; With saints on earth and hosts above, Praise him our Mighty Lord.
