Grand Is the Song

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 thro’ Christ!

Chasing the shades of night away

Bringing the light of glo­ri­ous day

Taking from Death his strength and sway

Victory is won thro’ Christ.

Grand was the scene when the stone was rolled

Victory is won! vic­to­ry is won!

Off from the se­pul­cher dark and cold

Victory is won thro’ Christ!

Angels alone could view that sight

Man could not bear the vi­sion bright;

Forth came the Con­quer­or armed with might

Victory is won thro’ Christ.

Grand was the word that the wo­men brought

Victory is won! vic­to­ry is won!

Mingled with won­ders

with glo­ries fraught

Victory is won thro’ Christ!

Seek not the liv­ing

an­gels said

Seek not the liv­ing among the dead;

Sorrow is past and the night is fled

Victory is won thro’ Christ.

Grand is the truth

O saints

for you

Victory is won! vic­to­ry is won!

Yours is the joy and the bless­ing

too

Victory is won thro’ Christ!

Since Je­sus took from Death his key

He from the tomb will set us free

And through all time and eter­ni­ty

Victory is won thro’ Christ.
