The United Methodist Hymnal

Thine Be the Glory

1 Thine be the glory, 
risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory 
thou o’er death hast won.
Angels in bright raiment 
rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave clothes 
where thy body lay.

[Refrain:]
Thine be the glory, 
risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory 
thou o’er death hast won.

2 Lo! Jesus meets thee, 
risen from the tomb;
lovingly he greets thee, 
scatters fear and gloom.
Let the church with gladness
hymns of triumph sing,
for our Lord now liveth; 
death hath lost its sting. (Refrain)

3 No more we doubt thee, 
glorious Prince of life!
Life is naught without thee; 
aid us in our strife.
Make us more than conquerors, 
through thy deathless love;
bring us safe through Jordan 
to thy home above. (Refrain)
