1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife,
Welcome from out the cave!
To-day we triumph in Thy life
Around Thine empty grave.

2 Our enemy is put to shame,
His short-lived triumph o’er;
Our God is with us, we exclaim:
We fear our foe no more.

3 The dwellings of the just resound
With songs of victory;
For in their midst Thou, Lord, art found,
And bringest peace with Thee.

4 O let Thy conqu'ring banner wave
O’er hearts Thou makest free;
And point the path that from the grave
Leads heavenward up to Thee.

Amen.
