1050. 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 height of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when striving 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 the came save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev’ry sin on Him was laid
Here is 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 ass 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.
