O death, where is your sting?
Your victory, O grave?
The sting of death is sin
against the law God gave.
Grace! grace! grace!
We glory in grace!
Saved by the Sovereign!
We glory in grace!
Has anyone obeyed
God’s law in every part?
In all we see displayed
corruption of the heart.
But Christ the law fulfilled,
his righteousness complete,
his people’s fears he stilled,
death’s power knew full defeat.
For, he the sinless One,
for sins of others died;
God’s wrath fell on his Son, –
their victory supplied.
And those who trust in him,
are clothed in righteousness;
so death has lost its sting,
it leads to blesssedness.
O death where is your sting?
Your victory, O grave?
Our praises we will bring –
from sin the Lord can save.
