*CAROL                                                                   Thine Is the Glory

 

Refrain:

Thine is the glory, risen, conq’ring Son;

endless is the vict’ry thou o’er death hast won.

 

Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,

Kept the folded graveclothes where Thy body lay.

 

Refrain: Everyone

 

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: Everyone

                        give praise with strings and pipe.

            Praise God with resounding cymbals;
