| Nay, our Lord is all victorious, |
1 Cor.15:25 |
| And His purpose is Love's best; |

|
| Leaving sin to hold the rest |
|
| Did the Christ go forth to battle: |

| Scabbard ne'er His sword shall see, |
|
| Until every blood-bought captive |
|
| Is from sin and death set free. |
Col.1:20 |
| Life your heads, ye heavenly portals! |
|
| Captives, pass beneath the rod! |
|
| Every sin-cursed son of Adam |
|
| Has become a son of God, |
1 Cor.15:22 |
| Changed into the glorious likeness |
|
| Of His well beloved Son, |
2 Cor.3:18 |
| This the fruit of grace abounding, |
|
| These the spoils in battle won. |

|
| Let the vaulted heavens ring |
|
| With the triumphs of our Saviour, |
|
| With the praises of the King! |

| Far and wide resounds the trumpet, |
|
| All creation now is free; |
|
| Through the ages Christ hath wrought it, |
|
| Heaven and earth's glad jubilee. |

| Matchless riches of God's wisdom! |
Rom.11:33 |
| Grace triumphant o'er the fall! |

1 John 4:8 |
| God, through Christ, is All in all. |
