<p>Ere yet the dawn has filled the skies,<br>
Behold, my Savior Christ arise;<br>
He chaseth from us sin and night,<br>
And brings us joy and life and light.</p>
<p>O stronger Thou than death and hell!<br>
Where is the foe Thou canst not quell,<br>
What heavy stone Thou canst not roll<br>
From off the prisoned, anguished soul?</p>
<p>If Jesus lives, can I be sad?<br>
I know He loves me, and am glad;<br>
Though all the world were dead to me,<br>
Enough, O Christ, if I have Thee!</p>
<p>He feeds me, comforts and defends,<br>
And when I die His angel sends<br>
To bear me whither He is gone,<br>
For of His own He loseth none.</p>
<p>Strong Champion! For this comfort, see,<br>
The whole world brings her thanks to Thee;<br>
And once we, too, shall raise above<br>
More sweet and loud the song of love.</p>
