>

>                      In Christ alone my hope is found;

>                    He is my light, my strength, my song;

>                    This cornerstone, this solid ground,

>                Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

>                 What heights of love, what depths of peace,

>                When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

>                        My comforter, my all in all-

>                     Here in the love of Christ I stand.

>

>

>                     In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,

>                      Fullness of God in helpless babe!

>                    This gift of love and righteousness,

>                    Scorned by the ones He came to save.

>                      Till on that cross as Jesus died,

>                       The wrath of God was satisfied;

>                       For ev’ry sin on Him was laid-

>                     Here in the death of Christ I live.

>

>

>                      There in the ground His body lay,

>                    Light of the world by darkness slain;

>                    Then bursting forth in glorious day,

>                      Up from the grave He rose again!

>                        And as He stands in victory,

>                    Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me;

>                        For I am His and He is mine-

>                  Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

>

>

>                     No guilt in life, no fear in death-

>                     This is the pow’r of Christ in me;

>                   From life’s first cry to final breath,

>                         Jesus commands my destiny.

>                     No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,

>                      Can ever pluck me from His hand;

>                      Till He returns or calls me home-

>                   Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.
