  • Choir: All Those Who Trust in Christ - H. Parry, 1916
    All those who trust in Christ are blest And find in Him eternal rest;
    This world's allurements we despise And fix on Christ alone our eyes.
    Through Him we heirs of heav'n are made;
    O Brother, Christ, extend Thine aid
    That we may firmly trust in Thee, And through Thee live eternally.
    O Christ, our Savior, Helper Friend, Be with us till our journey's end.
    In mercy guide us by Thy grace Till we behold Thy glorious face.
    Though Satan rage, His pow'r is gone His thundering roar can harm us none
    Our strong Defender hurls him down, And wins for us a heav'nly crown.

Scripture

Romans 6:1-4 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
