Composer: | George Frederick Handel, 1685 - 1759 |
1 Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o’er death hast won.
Angels in bright raiment
Rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave clothes
Where thy body lay.
Refrain:
Thine is the glory,
Risen, conquering Son;
Endless is the victory
Thou o’er death hast won. A-men.
2 Lo! Jesus meets thee,
Risen from the tomb!
Lovingly he greets thee,
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 nought without thee;
Aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conquerors,
Through thy deathless love;
Bring us safe through Jordan
To thy home above. [Refrain]
