HYMN: FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER EASTER by REGINALD HEBER

First Line: LIFE NOR DEATH SHALL US DISSEVER
Last Line: COMFORT ERE WE DIE!
Subject(s): DEATH; JESUS CHRIST; LIFE; DEAD, THE;

LIFE nor Death shall us dissever
From His love who reigns for ever:
Will He fail us? Never! never!
When to Him we cry!

Sin may seek to snare us,
Fury Passion tear us!
Doubt and Fear, and grim Despair,
Their fangs against us try;

But His might shall still defend us,
And His blessed Son befriend us,
And His Holy Spirit send us
Comfort ere we die!
