English Songs

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found, / He is my light, my strength, my song / This Cornerstone, this solid Ground / Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. / What heights of love, what depths of peace / When fears are stilled, when strivings cease / My Comforter, my All in All / Here in the love of Christ I stand. / In Christ alone! – who took on flesh, / Fullness of God in helpless babe. / This gift of love and righteousness, / Scorned by the ones He came to save / Till on that cross as Jesus died, / The wrath of God was satisfied / For every sin on Him was laid / Here in the death of Christ I live. / There in the ground His body lay, / Light of the world by darkness slain: / Then bursting forth in glorious day / Up from the grave He rose again / And as He stands in victory / Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, / For I am His and He is mine / Bought with the precious blood of Christ / No guilt in life, no fear in death, / This is the power of Christ in me / From life's first cry to final breath, / Jesus commands my destiny / No power of hell, no scheme of man, / Can ever pluck me from His hand / Till He returns or calls me home / Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
