Those who against Thee fought
Shall come to naught;
Perils defeated, and sin’s dark night
Flees in Thy life-giving, eternal light.

All that is evil in Thy sight
Shall be crushed and set aright;
It shall be the sinner’s delight
To behold Thy wondrous, sovereign might.

The wicked shall not prevail;
God’s truth and Word shall ever avail.
Sin, with all its grief and woe,
Shall be abolished—overthrown below.

Christ’s blood and cross astonish still,
Redeeming souls by sovereign will;
Grace abounds where sin once reigned,
And captive hearts are now unchained.

O may that day come soon—
We pray Thee, God Triune;
We long to see Thee appear—
O Lord, draw us near.

Let faith endure, let hope arise,
Till we behold Thee with our eyes;
And in Thy presence ever dwell,
Where joy unspeakable shall swell.
