ND are we yet alive,

And see each other's face?

Glory and praise to Jesus give

For his redeeming grace!

Preserved by power divine

To full salvation here,

Again in Jesu's praise we join,

And in his sight appear.

What troubles have we seen,

What conflicts have we past,

Fightings without, and fears within,

Since we assembled last!

But out of all the Lord

Hath brought us by his love;

And still he doth his help afford,

And hides our life above.

Then let us make our boast

Of his redeeming power,

Which saves us to the uttermost,

Till we can sin no more:

Let us take up the cross,

Till we the crown obtain;

And gladly reckon all things loss,

So we may Jesus gain.

EACE be on this house bestow'd,

Peace on all that here reside!

Let the unknown peace of God

With the man of peace abide.
