Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory, thou o'er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave clothes where thy body lay.

Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, thou o'er death hast won.

Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
for her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.

No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is naught without thee; aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors, through thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above.

Great hymn but TOO fast. !!



[emilewyn]

Way too fast!

[sezzybabe74]

This was played at my grandmothers funeral 2 weeks ago. It was her only requested hymn for a funeral. Very special indeed.

[JoelScottK]

This is one of my very favorite hymns. Wonderfully done. I tend to play hymns rather enthusiastically, and appreciate this quick tempo.

[vilasalazar]

very nice

[Kwiknitraat]

should be a little slower

The German title of Händel´s wonderful song: Tochter Zion, freue dich.

Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah!

@poodleman65 I completely agree with you. Anyway, it sounds wonderful and makes me feel closer to heaven.

This is a nice Hymn and a Good arrangement. May I know who arranged the Descant for this?

GLORIA ETERNA Gloria eterna a nuestro Salvador. Toda la victoria es del Señor. 1. Gozo y alegría reinen por doquier. Cristo en este día muestra su poder. 2. Álzase pujante, lleno de poder, más que el sol radiante al amanecer. 3. Ángeles cantando himnos al Señor vanle festejando como a vencedor. 4. ¡Ha resucitado! Ya no morirá. Quien muera al pecado por Dios vivirá
