16191. 'Tis The Hour Of Victory

1 ’Tis the hour of victory,
Great salvation’s light we see,
Long we’ve striven t’ward this end,
E’er praying for grace;
Let us honor give to Him
Who directs thro’ pathways dim,
Bidding all to forward go,
No footsteps retrace.

Refrain:
Victory, victory,
Oh! thy longed for hour has come,
When glory we share.
Victory, victory,
Foes have fallen in defeat,
The laurel we wear!

2 ’Tis the hour of victory,
From the thrall of sin we’re free,
Foes have fallen in defeat,
We’re conquerors true;
Christ His life for sinners gave,
And He triumphed o’er the grave,
In His great and holy name
We service would do. [Refrain]

3 ’Tis the hour of victory,
When grim death gives liberty
To the faithful souls redeemed
By Jesus, our king;
There will be reunion sweet,
In His presence so complete,
As we all assemble there
Our talents to bring. [Refrain]
