219. His Be the Victor's Name

S.M.
by Whitlock Gandy
1
His be the victor’s name
 
Who fought the fight alone;
 
Triumphant saints no honor claim,
 
His conquest was their own.
2
By weakness and defeat
 
He won the meed and crown,
 
Trod all our foes beneath His feet
 
By being trodden down.
3
Bless, bless the Conqueror slain,
 
Slain in His victory;
 
Who lived, who died, who lives again — 
 
For thee, His church, for thee!
