A coworker of mine shared the following hymn with me a number of years ago. It was special to her for she had sung it at the funeral of a family member. For this Easter holiday, I thought I would share it with you. The title is "Thine is the Glory". The words are by Edmund L. Budry and the music is by George Frederick Handel :
Thine is the Glory
Thine is the glory, Risen, conqu'ring Son; Endless is the vict'ry Thou o'er death hast won. Angels in bright raiment Rolled the stone away, Kept the folded grave-clothes Where Thy body lay.
Lo! Jesus meets us, Risen, from the tomb; Lovingly He greets us, Scatters fear and gloom; Let His church with gladness Hymns of triumph sing, For her Lord now liveth; Death hath lost its sting.
No more we doubt Thee, Glorious Prince of Life! Life is naught without Thee; Aid us in our strife; Make us more than conqu'rors, Through Thy death-less love; Bring us safe through Jordan With Thy power and love.
Refrain
Thine is the glory, Risen, conqu'ring Son; Endless is the vict'ry Thou o'er death hast won. Amen.
