149.  Hid With Christ

1
Let us rejoice in Christ the Lord,
Who claims us for his own;
The hope that’s built upon his Word,
Can ne’er be overthrown.

2
Though many foes beset us ‘round,
And feeble is our arm,
Our life is hid with Christ in God
Beyond the reach of harm.

3
Though now he’s unperceived by sense,
Faith sees him always near-
A guide, a glory, a defense
To save from ev’ry fear.

4
As surely as he overcame,
And conquered death and sin,
So surely those who trust his name
May all his triumph win.
