Let Christian faith and hope dispel

Author: Anonymous; John Logan, 1748-1788 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let Christian faith and hope dispel the fears of guilt and woe; the Lord Almighty is our friend, and who can prove a foe? 2 The Saviour died, but rose again triumphant from the grave, and pleads our cause at God’s right hand, omnipotent to save. 3 Who then can e’er divide us more from Jesus' saving love, or break the sacred chain that binds the earth to heaven above? 4 Let troubles rise and terrors frown, and days of darkness fall; through Christ all dangers we’ll defy, and more than conquer all. 5 Nor death nor life, nor earth, nor hell, nor time’s destroying sway can e’er erase us from his heart, or make his love decay. 6 Each future period that will bless as it has blessed the past; Christ loved us from the first of time; Christ loves us to the last.
