Christ Is the World’s Redeemer - LSB 539

[@reformationboy]

Christ is the world’s Redeemer, the lover of the pure, The font of heav’nly wisdom, our trust and hope secure, The armor of His soldiers, the Lord of earth and sky, Our health while we are living, our life when we shall die. Christ has our host surrounded with clouds of martyrs bright, Who wave their palms in triumph and fire us for the fight. Then Christ the cross ascended to save a world undone And, suff’ring for the sinful, our full redemption won. Down through the realm of darkness He strode in victory, And at the hour appointed He rose triumphantly. And now, to heav’n ascended, He sits upon the throne Whence He had ne’er departed, His Father’s and His own. Glory to God the Father, the unbegotten One, All honor be to Jesus, His sole-begotten Son, And to the Holy Spirit-the perfect Trinity, Let all the worlds give answer: Amen! So let it be.”

Perfect funeral hymn. It should replace the poor ones like Amazing Grace.
