83. Everlasting Glory

11s.
1
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.
 
Everlasting glory
 
Unto Jesus be!
 
Sing aloud the story
 
Of His victory!
2
Yes! He came from heaven,
 
Suffered in our stead;
 
Praise to Him be given,
 
"Firstborn from the dead!"
 
Jesus, meek and lowly,
 
Came the lost to save;
 
He the Victim holy
 
Triumphed o’er the grave.
3
We in death were lying,
 
Lost in hopeless gloom;
 
Jesus by His dying
 
Vanquished e’en the tomb!
 
Burst its iron portal,
 
Rolled away the stone,
 
Rose in life immortal
 
To the Father’s throne.
4
Christ is Lord of glory,
 
Sing we now today!
 
Tell abroad the story,
 
Own His rightful sway!
 
Sing aloud, and never
 
Cease to spread His fame;
 
Triumph, now and ever,
 
In the Savior’s name.
