We're Singing a New Song this Sunday

CHRIST OUR HOPE IN LIFE AND DEATH

“What is our only hope in life and death? Christ alone, Christ alone. What is our only confidence? That our souls to him belong.” We can sing with joy today because he holds us in his hands. We can endure every tomorrow because nothing comes apart from his command. We can look forward to that Great Day when we enter everlasting life with him because he is risen and will return for his own. Prepare to celebrate all this and more as we sing this a new song this Sunday. Listen to it here and read the lyrics below to prepare your heart for worship.

Verse 1

What is our hope in life and death?

Christ alone, Christ alone.

What is our only confidence?

That our souls to Him belong.

Who holds our days within His hand?

What comes, apart from His command?

And what will keep us to the end?

The love of Christ, in which we stand.

Chorus

O sing hallelujah!

Our hope springs eternal;

O sing hallelujah!

Now and ever we confess

Christ our hope in life and death.

Verse 2

What truth can calm the troubled soul?

God is good, God is good.

Where is His grace and goodness known?

In our great Redeemer’s blood.

Who holds our faith when fears arise?

Who stands above the stormy trial?

Who sends the waves that bring us nigh

Unto the shore, the rock of Christ? 

Verse 3

Unto the grave, what shall we sing?

“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”

And what reward will heaven bring?

Everlasting life with Him.

There we will rise to meet the Lord,

Then sin and death will be destroyed,

And we will feast in endless joy,

When Christ is ours forevermore.
