• He is Risen Indeed!

  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.

  THINE IS THE GLORY, RISEN, CONQUERING SON;
  ENDLESS IS THE VICTORY THOU O'ER DEATH HAST WON!

  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 the Lord now liveth; Death hath lost its sting!

  THINE IS THE GLORY, RISEN, CONQUERING SON;
  ENDLESS IS THE VICTORY THOU O'ER DEATH HAST WON!

  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.

  THINE IS THE GLORY, RISEN, CONQUERING SON;
  ENDLESS IS THE VICTORY THOU O'ER DEATH HAST WON!
