A Mighty Victor

lyricist: Effie Stevens, 1909
Composer: Charles Gabriel

A vic­tor

migh­ty vic­tor

The Lord of Heav’n arose

From death’s en­dur­ing pri­son

Triumphant o’er His foes;

He rose to life and glo­ry

That He might ban­ish fear

From ev­ery heart that

lov­ing

Draws to His pre­sence near.

A vic­tor

migh­ty vic­tor

Our Lord arose this day;

That He might lead us on­ward

Within His bless­èd way.

A vic­tor

migh­ty vic­tor

Christ rose that East­er day;

’Twas all for us He suf­fered

That we might learn His way;

He rose to fill with glad­ness

Each ach­ing

sin­ful heart

He rose to com­fort sor­row

To bid des­pair de­part.

A vic­tor

migh­ty vic­tor

The Lord of Heav’n arose

That we

too

might be ris­en

Triumphant o’er earth’s woes;

So let us join in sing­ing

Our praise to Christ

whose love

Prepares for us a dwell­ing

With Him in Heav’n ab­ove.
