O What a Conquest Jesus Won

lyricist: Henry Lyte, 1834
Composer: From Rossini

O what a con­quest Je­sus won

When

on the fa­tal tree

His great aton­ing work was done

And earth from guilt set free!

’Tis fin­ished

He ex­ult­ing cried

The migh­ty Slay­er slain;

The wrath of God is pa­ci­fied

And man may hope again.

O rich re­ward for ev­ery groan!

O vic­to­ry com­plete!

To call a ran­somed world His own

And hail it to His feet.

Yes

the great work shall on­ward go;

The sure de­cree is past:

The na­tions to their Lord shall flow

And all be Christ’s at last.

O hast­en

Lord

those bless­èd times!

Lead all Thy wan­der­ers home!

Convert this world of woe and crimes

And bid Thy king­dom come!
