A Rock that stands for ever
Is Christ my righteousness,
And there I stand unfearing
In everlasting bliss;
No earthly thing is needful
To this my life from heaven,
And nought of love is worthy
Save that which Christ has given.
There is no condemnation,
There is no hell for me,
The torment and the fire
Mine eyes shall never see;
For me there is no sentence,
For me death has no sting,
Because the Lord who loves me
Shall shield me with His wings.
No angel and no devil,
No throne, nor power, nor might;
No love, no tribulation,
No danger, fear, nor fight,
No height, no depth, no creature
That has been, or can be,
Can drive me from Thy bosom
Can sever me from Thee.
My soul with joy upleapeth,
Grief cannot linger there,
She singeth high in glory,
Amid the sunshine fair;
The Sun that shines upon me
Is Jesus and His love;
The fountain of my singing
Is deep in heaven above.
