Triumphant Jesus

“Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.” Romans 8:33

Triumphant Jesus bore the cross

Of cruel passion, curse, and loss;

He routed sin, and death, and woe,

And Satan my infernal foe.

Yet does the fiend still prowl and lurk,

His schemes upon my heart to work.

But God before me who can stand

When Christ in battle guides my hand?

Since Christ my Savior works within,

No more am I a slave of sin.

The hopes of hell and Satan wrecked,

No more can he charge God’s elect.

No power of flesh or demon’s might

Can snatch from me Christ’s blood-bought right.

I more than conquer by the Word

Of Christ my Captain and my Lord!
