Through Jesus' Blood and Merit

Through Jesus' blood and merit I am at peace with God; What, then, can daunt my spirit, However dark my road? My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Though hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride. 2. There's naught that me can sever From the great love of God; No want, no pain, whatever, No famine, peril, flood. Though thousand foes surround me, For slaughter mark Thy sheep, They never shall confound me, The victory I shall reap.

4. Yea, neither life's temptation Nor death's so trying hour, Nor angels of high station, Nor any other power, Nor things that now are present, Nor things that are to come, Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depths of deepest gloom. 5. Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God This wretched sinner sever; For in my Savior's blood This love its fountain taketh; He hears my faithful prayer And nevermore forsaketh His own dear child and heir.
