Part III
A Hymn of Thanksgiving for the final overthrow of Death

~~~~~

52. Air (Soprano)

If God be for us,
who can be against us?

Who shall lay anything
to the charge of God's elect?

It is Christ that died,
yea rather, that is risen again,
who is at the right hand of God,
who makes intercession for us.
