171. Thine Is the Glory

1 Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the vict'ry
Thou o'er death hast won.
Angels in bright raiment
Rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded graveclothes
Where Thy body lay.

Refrain:
Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the vict'ry
Thou o'er death hast won.

2 Lo! Jesus meets us,
Risen, from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets us,
Scatters fear and gloom;
Let His church with gladness
Hymns of triumph sing,
For her 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 conqu'rors,
Through Thy deathless love;
Bring us safe through Jordan
With Thy power and love. [Refrain]
