O Death, Where Is Thy Cruel Sting

Author: Justus Gesenius; Geo. Weissel Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #448 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal First Line: O death, where is thy cruel sting? Lyrics: 1 O death, where is thy cruel sting? O grave, where is thy power? What harm to us can Satan bring? Why need we fear or cower? All thanks to God who won the fight And saved us from our wretched plight Thro' Jesus Christ, our Savior. 2 How mightily the serpent strove When Christ with him contended! Thro' craftiness awhile he throve, But now his rule is ended. For tho' he bruised the Savior's heel, He yet no mortal thrust could deal; His head is bruised and trodden. 3 He lives, who by the foe was slain And held awhile in prison; His members now shall freedom gain, Since He, their Head, is risen. If heed unto His Word they give, Tho' they were dead, yet shall they live; Nor death nor grave an hold them. 4 If daily we with Christ arise Thro' faith and true repentance, Then may we calmly close our eyes And laugh to scorn death's sentence; For death is shorn of all its pow'rs, While peace and pardon now are ours, Eternal life and glory. 5 Behold the spoils that we possess, For which the Lord has striven: Forgiveness, peace and righteousness, Eternal life in heaven. So here we now with joy abide Till, in the body glorified, We dwell with Him forever. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: DECIUS

O death! where is thy cruel sting?

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #80 (1880) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O death! where is thy cruel sting? O grave! where is thy power? What harm to us can Satan bring Though threatening to devour? Thanks be to God! of glorious might, Who conquered for us in this fight Through Jesus Christ our Captain. 2 How fiercely the arch-serpent raged, When Christ his might contested? Yet Christ, though all hell's hosts engaged, Their prowess from them wrested. And though the serpent pricked his heel, Yet was he made its weight to feel; His hear is bruised forever. 3 And now Christ comes to life again, And breaks death's chain asunder; He binds the foe, takes hell amain, And wrests from him his plunder. No power an stay the Victor's march, He enters the triumphal arch:-- All must succumb before Him. 4 A death to death, to hell a pest, Christ is become by dying; Still Satan rages without rest With murd'rous will and lying. And since he cannot come with might, He turns accuser, day and night; But judged, he stands rejected. 5 The Lord's right hand, His holy arm, The victory retaineth; No might of foes can Him disarm, The glory His remaineth. Now sin and Satan, death and hell, Are ousted from their citadel; Their wrath is fierce, yet pow'rless. 6 The Christ of God, God's Son was dead; But lo, He ever liveth! As He arose, our living Head, So life to us He giveth. Now, who believes on Jesus' Word From death and grave shall be restored, And live, e'en though he dieth. 7 He who with Christ arises here By faith and daily sorrow, The second death need never fear: Heaven's his eternal morrow. Death's swallowed up in victory And life and immortality Are brought to light by Jesus. 8 Forgiveness, peace, joy, righteousness, On earth and there in heaven-- These are the Easter-spoils that bless The hearts to Jesus given. So we, His heirs, wait patiently Until our bodies fashioned by Like His own glorious body. 9 The ancient dragon, with his brood,, Is hurled to degradation; They lay a mock, with scorn subdued, When Christ rose with salvation. The gain of our triumphant Head Is ours, His members; hence we dread No more the serpent's power. 10 O Death! where is thy cruel sting? O grave! where is thy power? What harm to us can Satan bring Though threatening to devour? Thanks be to God! of glorious might, Who conquered for us in this fight Through Jesus Christ our Captain.
