If God be for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare His only Son, but gave Him up for all,
Shall He not with Him freely give us all things?
Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia!
To His throne beyond the skies, Alleluia!
Christ, the Lamb, for sinners given, Alleluia!
Enters now the hightest heaven, Alleluia!
Circled round with angel powers, Alleluia!
Their triumphant Lord and ours, Alleluia!
Christ has conquered death and sin, Alleluia!
Take the King of Glory in, Alleluia!
Shall He not with Him freely give us all things? Alleluia!
-Text adapted from Romans 8, 31-32 and Charles Wesley
