8712. Victory Is Won

1 Oh, ye redeemed of the Lord, rejoice,
Victory is won, victory is won.
Wake, wake the song with a tuneful voice,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
Washed in the blood that makes us free,
Heirs of His grace thro’ faith are we;
Ever in this our boast shall be,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.

2 Over the foes that in chains He bound,
Victory is won, victory is won.
Hark, how the anthems of joy resound,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
Over the tomb where Jesus lay
Shineth the light of endless day,
Oh, ye redeemed, be glad and say,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.

3 Fear not the world nor the tempter’s power,
Victory is won, victory is won.
Sing and proclaim in the darkest hour,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
Glory to Him who died for men,
Glory to Him who lives again,
Herald afar the sweet refrain.
Victory is won thro’ Christ.

4 Lift up your eyes to the gates of gold,
Victory is won, victory is won.
Praise ye the Lord for His love untold,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
Sing till the weary night is o’er,
Sing when we reach the heav’nly shore,
Sing with the millions gone before,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
