1. If God is our defender,
who will th'accuser be?
His only son he spared not,
but gave him graciously.
When God himself grants
pardon,
who ventures to condemn?
Will Jesus Christ, the saviour,
who died and rose for men?
2. Can anything divide us
from that most loving Lord?
Can pain, or tribulation?
Can
famine, peril, sword?
No, none of these can cause us
from his great love to fall;
for, by the strength he gave
us,
we triumph over all.
3. Of this we can be certain,
and sing with
every breath:
that nought that is, or will be,
and neither life nor death,
and nothing in creation,
below
us or above,
can tear us from Christ Jesus,
and from his Father's love.
