Verse 1
Thine be the glory,
risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory
thou o’er death hast won.
Trans. by permission of The World Student Christian Federation
Angels in bright raiment
rolled the stone away,
kept the folded graveclothes
where thy body lay.
Refrain
Thine be the glory,
risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory
thou o’er death hast won.
Verse 2
Lo! Jesus meets thee,
risen from the tomb;
lovingly he greets thee,
scatters fear and gloom.
Let the church with gladness
hymns of triumph sing,
for our Lord now liveth;
death hath lost its sting.
Refrain
Thine be the glory,
risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory
thou o’er death hast won.
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 conquerors,
through thy deathless love;
bring us safe through Jordan
to thy home above.
Refrain
Thine be the glory,
risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory
thou o’er death hast won.
