48. In Christ

'In Christ!' 'In Christ!' O, wondrous words, that grace th’ Apostle’s pages!  How shine they for all humble souls thro'out the weary ages!  They speak of pardon full and free, a new exalted station; It’s mine! It’s mine, this gift divine, this precious consolation.

In Christ I trust, in Christ I stand, O hear my grateful story, I’ll tell it out while life shall last, in Christ is all my glory.

2.

In Christ! In Christ from Satan’s wiles I find a sure protection; No one shall pluck me from his hand, or from his strong affection.  In him I find rich grace to help, which none on earth can render; A refuge near from every fear, a fellowship most tender.

In Christ I trust, in Christ I stand, O hear my grateful story, I’ll tell it out while life shall last, in Christ is all my glory.

3.

In Christ! In Christ my destiny is bright with prospects glorious; Because he lives I too shall live, o’er sin and death victorious.  In heav’nly places he’s my pledge by bonds no foe can sever; In him above I’ll share God’s love forever and forever.

In Christ I trust, in Christ I stand, O hear my grateful story, I’ll tell it out while life shall last, in Christ is all my glory.
