When Satan tempts me to despair,

and tells me of the guilt within,

upward I look and see Him there

Who made an end to all my sin.

my sinful soul is counted free;

For God, the Just, is satisfied

to look on him and pardon me.

One with Himself I cannot die,

My soul is purchased by His blood;

My life is hid with Christ on high,

with Christ, my Saviour and my God

with Christ, my Saviour and my God
