Maccabeus 10.11.11.11 & refrain

1.

Thine be 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.

Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering 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 the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.

Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won.

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 vict'ry, Thou o'er death hast won.
