Our Lamb Has Conquered

Representative Text

1 Our Lamb has conquered: let us follow him,

3 Our Lamb has conquered: let us follow him,
from life's fair dawning to its twilight dim,
fighting with selfishness and all its brood,
sin and disease, the enemies of good -
Our Lamb has conquered: let us follow him.
