Warner, 1893[/i]Men speak of a church triumphantAs something on earth unknown,They think us beneath the tyrantUntil we shall reach our home.Refrain:Thank God for a church triumphant,All pure in this world below!For the kingdom that Jesus foundedDoes triumph oer every foe.Oh, cannot the great RedeemerPrevail over Satan here?Or must we remain yet underConfusion, pressed down in fear?He built on a sure foundation,And said that the gates of hellAgainst her divine munitionCan never indeed prevail.Tis not in the church of JesusThat people yet live in sin;But in the dark creeds theyre joining,And vainly are trusting in.Gods church is alone triumphant,In holiness all complete;And all the dark powrs of SatanShe tramples beneath her feet.
