Thine Is the Glory
Verse 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.
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.
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the vict'ry
Thou o'er death hast won.
Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Life is naught without Thee;

Through Thy deathless love;
Bring us safe through Jordan
