Hymn 232: The sting of death is sin

HYMN CCXXXII.

The sting of death is sin, The strength of sin the law; I feel the envenom'd wound within, But who the sting shall draw?

Thanks be to God, I see My health in Christ His Son, Who, over sin and death, for me, The victory hath won.

The law He magnified, For me its curse He bore; Who shall condemn?--'Tis Christ that died, Now lives for evermore.

My name upon the roll Of His redeem'd be found, And in life's bundle be my soul, For his soul's travail bound.
