HYMN 14. (L. M.)
The triumph of faith or, Christ's unchangeable love. Romans viii. 13 &c.
by Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

ho shall the Lord’s elect condemn?
’Tis God that justifies their souls;
And mercy, like a mighty stream,
O’er all their sins divinely rolls.

Who shall adjudge the saints to hell?
’Tis Christ that suffered in their stead;
And, the salvation to fulfil,
Behold him rising from the dead!

He lives! he lives and sits above,
For ever interceding there:
Who shall divide us from his love?
Or what should tempt us to despair?

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

Faith hath an overcoming power;
It triumphs in the dying hour:
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope,
Nor can we sink with such a prop.

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

Geneva Bible
A song or Psalme of David.
1 O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.
2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
5 Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
6 That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
7 God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.
9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
10 Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?
12 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
13 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
