24b. The Victorious Saviour

1 The victory is won!
My Saviour has arisen,
Triumphant from his prison;
The glorious work is done,
The victory is won!
The living Christ is token,
That death is bruised and broken,
And hell has found defeat
Beneath his royal feet.
Now dying is but sleeping,
In sweet and gentle keeping
Of God's exalted son,
The victory is won!

2 Hosanna! victory!
The word of power is spoken,
The fearful spell is broken,
The lifted shadows flee,
Hosanna! victory!
Oh, tell the world the story
Of Jesus in his glory,
The victor o'er the grave,
Omnipotent to save.
O hearts of men, adore him!
O worlds, bow low before him!
None lives to love like he,
Hosanna! victory!

3 Rejoice, my soul, rejoice!
Beyond death's broken portal
There is a life immortal—
The ransomed spirit's choice;
Rejoice, my soul, rejoice!
My Saviour passed before thee,
His pledge of love is o'er thee,
His glory lights the way
To never-ending day;
All power to him is given;
His favor is my heaven;
I hear his loving voice;
Rejoice, my soul, rejoice!

4 Oh shout aloud for joy!
Lift up thy head, O Zion;
Behold him, Judah's Lion;
For him your voice employ,
And shout aloud for joy!
With kindling faith behold Him;
With arms of love enfold Him;
In death he is thy life,
Thy peace amid the strife,
Thy theme of song forever;
Nor death nor Hell may sever
From such a king's employ;
Oh shout aloud for joy!
