1 They have triumphed at last,
They are safe on the shore,
For the warfare is ended,

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Amen!
We will praise him again,
They have triumphed, oh, the glory!
Hallelujah! Amen!

2 ’Tis a song of the blest,
Rolling o’er the bright plain;
’Tis the song of redemption,
Of the Lamb that was slain. [Refrain]

3 They are safe home at last,
From the wide, rolling sea;
’Tis the song of the ransomed,
’Tis the shout of the free. [Refrain]
