Dear Saviour, thy victorious love
Can all my fears control;
Can bid the pangs of guilt remove.
And cheer the trembling soul.
Victorious love! thy wondrous pow'r
From sin and death can raise;
Can gild the dark, departing hour,
And tune its groans to praise.
Then shall the joyful spirit soar
To life beyond the sky.
Where gloomy 'death can frown no more,
And guilt and terror die.
No more, O pale Destroyer, boast
Thy universal sway;
To heav'n-born souls thy sting is lost—
Thy night, the gate of day.
