254. Death and Judgment Are Behind Us

8,7.
by Mrs. J.A. Trench
1
Death and judgment are behind us,
 
Grace and glory are before;
 
All the billows rolled o’er Jesus,
 
There they spent their utmost power.
2
"Firstfruits" of the resurrection,
 
He is risen from the tomb;
 
Now we stand in new creation,
 
Free, because beyond our doom.
3
Jesus died, and we died with Him,
 
"Buried" in His grave we lay,
 
One with Him in resurrection,
 
Now "in Him" in heaven’s bright day.
