Representative Text

1 Triumphant Lord, Thy work is done,
Thy toil is o'er, Thy victory won:
Oh, aid Thy servants in the strife,
Help us to win the crown of life!

2 Presenting Thine own sacrifice,
Our prayers like incense round Thee rise;
For "Thou art Priest forever," Thou
Art interceding for us now.

3 Oh, by Thy spotless wondrous birth,
And by Thy bitter death on earth,
And by Thy rising from the grave,
Ascended Lord, Thy people save!

4 "Thou art the King of glory," Thine
All honor, praise, and power divine;
One with the Father now confest,
And with the Spirit ever blest.

Amen.
