The Voice of Praise ‎#7

7. The Conquering Redeemer

1 Forward sweeps the conquering Redeemer,
Flow'rs are blooming where his feet have trod;
Thro' the world the joyous tidings ringing,
Jesus lives! the blessed Son of God!

Chorus:
Forward! Forward! Seraphs lowly bending,
Cast their crowns of gold before his feet;
Forward sweeps the conquering Redeemer;
Hail him! hail him! Lord his praise repeat!

2 We may rise with him to heights celestial;
Death is swallowed up in victory;
Earth and heav'n exultingly are singing;
Crowned with light divine is Calvary. [Chorus]

3 Forward sweeps the conquering Redeemer,
Hallelujahs swelling thro' the sky;
Hail him! hail him! King of kings forever!
Glory be to God who reigns on high! [Chorus]
