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.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24)
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” (Psalm 84:11)
“Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.” (Psalm 42:7)
2
"Firstfruits" of the resurrection,
 
He is risen from the tomb;
 
Now we stand in new creation,
 
Free, because beyond our doom.
“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)
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.
