Thine Be the Glory, Risen Conquering Son
A classic hymn about the victory risen Christ, written by a Swiss man who had lost his wife, translated by an Englishman shortly after and set to a famous piece written by Handel. Learning it for my uncle's memorial service made me truly appreciate the message of Christ's victory over death!
- Devotions I did with him telling his missionary stories:
- My sermon on Christ’s Victory, on Easter Sunday 2023
LYRICS:
1 Thine be the glory, risen, conqu'ring Son
endless is the vict'ry 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 be the glory, risen, conqu'ring Son
endless is the vict'ry Thou o’er death hast won
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 the Lord now liveth; death hath lost its sting
3 No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life
Life is nought without Thee; aid us in our strife
make us more than conqu'rors, through Thy deathless love
bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above
