Over Death

Adapted from “Hymn 17” by Isaac Watts

Written by Jesse Eubanks, Neil Robins and Joel Gerdis

I long for an overcoming faith

To cheer my dying hour

To triumph over the monster death

And all his frightful powers

Chorus:

Joyful, with all the strength I have

My trembling lips should sing:

“Where is your boast of victory grave?

And where is the monster’s sting?”

If sin be pardoned and secure

Death has no sting beside

The law gives sin its damning power

But Christ my ransom died

Chorus

So let us praise the God of victory

Immortal hope for mortal flesh

So let us praise the God of victory

Who makes us conquerors of death

Chorus
