And Are We Yet Alive (Hymn)

336 And Are We Yet Alive

1 And are we yet alive,
   And see each other's face?
   Glory and praise to Jesus give,
   For His redeeming grace.

2 What troubles have we seen,
   What conflicts have we past;
   Fightings without and fears within,
   Since we assembled last.

3 Yet out of all, the Lord
   Hath brought us by his love;
   And still he does his help afford,
   And hides our life above.

4 Then let us make our boast,
   Of his redeeming pow'r;
   Which saves us to the uttermost,
   Till we can sin no more.

5 Let us take up the cross,
   Till we the crown obtain;
   And gladly reckon all things lost,
   So we may Jesus gain.
                         Charles Wesley
                         Methodist Hymnal, 1964 edition

Hymnary.org inserts a verse:

2 Preserv'd by pow'r divine,
   To feel salvation here;
   Again in Jesus' name we join,
   And in his sight appear.
