Thine Is the Glory
1. Thine is 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.
2. Lo! Jesus meets us,
Risen from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets us,
Scatters fear and gloom.
Let the church with gladness
Hymns of triumph sing,
For the Lord now liveth;
Death hath lost its sting.
3. No more we doubt Thee,
Glorious Prince of life!
Life is nought without Thee;
Aid us in our strife.
Make us more than conquerors
Through They deathless love;
Bring us safe through Jordan
To Thy home above.
Refrain (last time only)
Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o'er death hast won.
