’Tis the Hour of Victory

lyricist: Mable Asterle, 1918
Composer: Minnis Hayes

’Tis the hour of vic­to­ry

Great sal­va­tion’s light we see

Long we’ve striv­en t’ward this end

E’er pray­ing for grace;

Let us ho­nor give to Him

Who di­rects thro’ path­ways dim

Bidding all to for­ward go

No foot­steps re­trace.

Victory

vic­to­ry

Oh! thy longed for hour has come

When glo­ry we share.

Victory

vic­to­ry

Foes have fall­en in defeat

The laur­el we wear!

’Tis the hour of vic­to­ry

From the thrall of sin we’re free

Foes have fall­en in de­feat

We’re con­quer­ors true;

Christ His life for sin­ners gave

And He tri­umphed o’er the grave

In His great and ho­ly name

We serv­ice would do.

’Tis the hour of vic­to­ry

When grim death gives li­ber­ty

To the faith­ful souls re­deemed

By Jesus

our king;

There will be re­un­ion sweet

In His pre­sence so com­plete

As we all as­sem­ble there

Our tal­ents to bring.
