The lover of the pure,
The fount of heavenly wisdom,
Our trust and hope secure;
The armor of His soldiers,
The Lord of earth and sky;
Our health while we are living,
Our life when we shall die.
2 Christ hath our host surrounded
With clouds of martyrs bright,
Who wave their palms in triumph,
And fire us for the fight.
Christ the red cross ascended
To save a world undone,
And, suffering for the sinful,
Our full redemption won.
3 Down in the realm of darkness
He lay a captive bound,
But at the hour appointed
He rose, a victor crowned;
And now, to heaven ascended,
He sits upon the throne,
In glorious dominion,
His Father's and His own.
4 All glory to the Father,
The un-begotten One;
All honor be to Jesus,
His sole-begotten Son;
And to the Holy Spirit--
The perfect Trinity.
Let all the worlds give answer,
"Amen--so let it be."
Amen. Scripture: Mark 14:62 Used With Tune: MOVILLE
Christ Is the World's Redeemer
