Victory over Death thro' Christ

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:57 First Line: When death appears before my sight Lyrics: 1 When death appears before my sight In all his dire array, Unequal to the dreadful fight, My courage dies away. 2 But see, my glorious leader nigh! My Lord, my Savior lives; Before him death's pale terrors fly, And my faint heart revives. 3 He left his dazzling throne above, He met the tyrant's dart, And (O! amazing power of love;) Receiv'd it in his heart. 4 No more, O grim destroyer, boast, Thy universal sway' To heaven-born souls thy sting is lost, Thy night, the gates of day. 5 Lord, I commit my soul to thee, Accept the sacred trust, Receive this nobler part of me, And watch my sleeping dust: 6 'Till that illustrious morning come, When all thy saints shall rise, And cloth'd in full immortal bloom, Attend thee to the skies. 7 When thy triumphant armies sing The honors of thy name, And heaven's eternal arches ring With glory to the lamb; 8 O let me join the raptur'd lays, And with the blissful throng, Resound salvation, power, and praise, In everlasting song.

Gracious Savior, own me on that day as thine. 3 At his call the dead awaken, rise to life from earth and sea. All the powers of nature, shaken by his looks, prepare to flee.
