Let us rejoice in Christ the Lord

John Newton (1774)

5 Verses Strength In Weakness Victory Over Sin

Verse 1

Let us rejoice in Christ the Lord Who claims us for His own; The hope established on His Word Can ne'er be overthrown.

Verse 2

Though many foes beset us round, And feeble is our arm, Our life is hid with Christ in God Beyond the reach of harm.

Verse 3

Weak as we are, we shall not faint Or fainting, cannot fail; Jesus, the strength of every saint, For ever must prevail.

Verse 4

Though now He's unperceived by sense Faith sees Him always near; Our guide, our glory, our defence. To save from every fear.

Verse 5

As surely as He overcame And conquered death and sin, So surely those that trust His Name Will all His triumph win.
