Grand is the song of the Easter morn, Victory is won ! victory is won ! Far o'er the hills with the light 'tis borne, Victory is won through Christ ! Chasing the shades of night away, Bringing the light of glorious day, Taking from Death his strength and sway, Victory is won through Christ 1
2. Grand was the scene when the stone was rolled, Off from the sepulchre dark and cold : Angels alone could view that sight ; Man could not bear that vision bright ; Forth came the Conqueror armed with might, Victory is won through Christ !
3. Grand was the word that the women brought, Mingled with wonders, with glories fraught : " Seek not the living," the angels said, " Seek not the living among the dead " ; Sorrow is past and night is fled, Victory is won through Christ !
4. Grand is this truth, O saints, for you, Yours is the joy and the blessing too, Since Jesus took from Death bis key, He from the tomb will set us free ; And through all time and eternity, Victory is won through Christ !
