His Be the Victor’s Name

lyricist: Samuel Gandy, 1838
Composer: Lowell Mason, 1832

His be the Vic­tor’s name

Who fought the fight alone;

Triumphant saints no hon­or claim

His con­quest was their own.

By weak­ness and de­feat

He won a glo­ri­ous crown

Trod all our foes be­neath His feet

By being trod­den down.

He Sa­tan’s pow­er laid low;

Made sin

He sin o’er­threw

Bowed to the grave

de­stroyed it so

And death

by dy­ing

slew.

Bless

bless the Con­quer­or slain

Slain in His vic­to­ry;

Who lived

who died

who lives again—

For thee

His Church

for thee!
