Conqueror, The

O Thou Lamb of Calvary,

Thy triumphant day is come!

Day of glorious victory,

Over the boasting tomb!

All the shame and agony

Of the cruel cross He bore;

Died the Man of Galilee,

But rose the Conqueror!

Refrain

O death, where is thy sting?

O grave, thy victory?

The risen Lord, the Savior-King,

Has conquered death for me.

All in vain the wards of death

Guard the stony tenement;

But a whisper, yea, a breath,

Lo! its bars are rent!

Where is now the taunting reed,

And the crown of thorns He wore?

Ye have made a King, indeed,

And crowned a Conqueror!

Refrain

O the glorious victory!

Jesus slain awakes again,

Triumphs over Calvary,

And the wiles of men!

Jesus now the risen King

Is alive forevermore!

Earth and Heaven tribute sing-

And hail Him Conqueror!

Refrain
