Always Abounding

"Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Thank the Lord who freely gives
The triumph that we did not earn!
For us He died, for us He lives,
And soon for us He will return!

Our labor, therefore, is not vain
When it's done in Christ our Lord.
Grace abounding shall not wane
By which our souls may be restored.

Let us therefore triumph now,
Abounding with the Spirit's sword,
Till every knee to Him shall bow,
And every tongue confess Him Lord.

Abounding in this confidence,
That Jesus Christ shall come again,
Let us trust in His Defense
To keep us steadfast until then.
