Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife,
Now welcome from the grave!
Today we triumph in Thy life,
For Thou art strong to save.
2
The dwellings of the just resound
With songs of victory;
For in their midst, Lord, Thou art found,
And bringest peace with Thee.
3
O share with us the spoils we pray,
Thou didst for us achieve;
We meet within Thy house today
Our portion to receive.
4
We die with Thee, O let us live
Henceforth to Thee aright;
The blessings Thou hast died to give
Be daily in our sight.
5
Fearless we lay us in the tomb
And sleep the night away,
For Thou art there to break the gloom
And call us back to day.
6
Death hurts us not; his power is gone,
And pointless all his darts;
Now has God’s favour on us shone,
And joy fills all our hearts.
