Music by Arthur S. Sullivan, words by Hannah K. Burlingham
Everlasting glory unto Jesus be!
Sing aloud the story of His victory!
How He left the splendor of His home on high,
Came, in love so tender, on the cross to die.
Everlasting glory unto Jesus be!
Sing aloud the story of His victory!
Yes! He came from heaven, suffered in our stead;
Praise to Him be given, "Firstborn from the dead!"
Jesus, meek and lowly, came the lost to save;
He, the victim holy, triumphed o'er the grave.
We in death were lying, lost in hopeless gloom;
Jesus by His dying vanquished e'en the tomb!
Burst its iron portal, rolled away the stone,
Rose in life immortal to the Father's throne.
Christ is Lord of glory, sing we now today;
Tell abroad the story, He alone can save!
Sing aloud, and never cease to spread His fame,
Triumph, now and ever, in the Savior's name.
