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.
