The Mighty Conqueror

lyricist: William Wilbor, 1885
Composer: Adam Geibel

Jesus the migh­ty Con­quer­or

Now ris­es from the tomb

His re­sur­rect­ion glo­ry

Dispels its chill­ing gloom.

While

from its op­en por­tals

An an­gel

clad in light

Doth re­veal to mortals

The tri­umphs of His might.

For the Lord hath ris­en

The Lord hath ris­en

The Lord hath ris­en

And con­quered ev­ery foe.

The grave its aw­ful con­quest

O’er man for ages won;

Defeated

now sur­rend­ers

To God’s vic­tor­ious Son;

The migh­ty Con­q’ror

cap­tive

Now leads cap­tiv­ity

Precious gifts be­stow­ing

Of life and li­ber­ty.

Death’s pow­er for­e’er is brok­en

God’s saints no long­er mourn;

Its sting can bring no tor­ture

For Christ the curse hath borne;

His glo­ri­ous ex­al­ta­tion

Let men and an­gels sing;

Jesus

migh­ty Con­q’ror!

In earth and Heav­en is King.
