LyicsHE lives--the great Redeemer lives!
What joy the blest assurance gives!
And now, before his Father God,
He pleads the merits of his blood.
In every dark, distressful hour,
When sin and satan join their power,
Let this dear hope repel the dart--
That Jesus bears us on his heart.
Great Advocate, almighty Friend!
On thee our humble hopes depend;
Our cause can never, never fail,
For thou dost plead, and must prevail.
