Everlasting Glory

Everlasting glory unto Jesus be!
Sing aloud the story of His victory!
How he left the splendor of his home on high;
Came in love so tender, on the cross to die.
Yes! He came from heaven, suffer’d in our stead!
Praise to Him be given, our exalted Head.
Jesus, meek and lowly, came the lost to save,
He, the Victim holy, triumph’d o’er the grave.
We in death were lying, lost in hopeless gloom,
Jesus, by His dying, vanquish’d e’en the tomb!
Burst its iron portal, roll’d away the stone,
Rose, in life immortal, to the Father’s throne.
Christ the Lord is risen, sing we now today!
Freed are we from prison, Christ our debt did pay!
Sing aloud, and never cease to spread His fame;
Triumph, triumph ever, in the Saviour’s Name.
