(Rom. 8:35.)

I’m bound for my fair home above,
And none can bar my entrance there:
My Saviour in His power and love
Shall bring me home His joys to share.

I know that numerous foes arise
To turn me from the upward way;
But through my Lord I'll gain the skies,
And dwell with Him in endless day.

The flesh within, the world without,
And Satan's host in fierce array,
Cannot succeed to shut me out,
Since Christ doth lead me in the way.

The One who made all worlds that shine
In heaven's boundless vaults of night,
His arms of love doth round me twine
And He shall keep me by His might.

To give me life-eternal life,
It cost my Lord His precious blood:
He met all foes in mortal strife
And conquered in the whelming flood.

Redemption cost Him far too much
To let my soul be Satan's prey;
To wrench me from the tyrant's clutch
He passed through Calvary's deadly fray

His love and power for me unite
Against all foes however strong:
So I'll defy the hosts of might
Since I by grace to Him belong.

Then rest my soul in sweet repose;
Omnipotence is on thy side.
Should worlds on worlds my way oppose,
I shall with Christ be glorified.
