“What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:31 (66.84.D. Dolwyddelan)
What fierce and fearful foe
Surrounds my soul to slay?
When Satan comes with voice of woe
In bold array.
My strength is in the Lord,
His armour covers me;
For God is for us, and his sword
Is victory.
Now Sinai’s voice I heard
That shattered all my pride;
On startling slate with piercing word;
I could not hide.
My hope is in the grace
Of Jesus’ righteousness,
For God is for us, His embrace
Removes distress.
On Jordan’s silent shore
I find I cannot live;
This cruel death a moment more
Will never give.
O resurrection life,
This glorious living breath!
For God is for us, in the strife,
The end of death.
All, all is now exposed
On dreadful judgement day;
But Jesus Christ has interposed
That I might stay.
His blood is peace to me,
A place for me has bought;
For God is for us, glorious plea,
In all Christ wrought.
