Victorious
Victoriously we sing of his cursed death
It wrestled from satan and sin Our just punishment
So when we come to our long-awaited rest
We sing “Victorious, God with us!”
He laid down for us his own life
Leaving victorious those who die
he drank the cup o’wrath so we could have wine
His torn body, the flesh on which we dine
Come from all places to his wedding feast
F’er you there’s a place, a banquet, a very good seat!
He handed over to us his own life
Leaving victorious all who die
To’all who look at death in sad-eyed wonder
cry no more ‘cause Jesus has conquered!
Works of the devil and flesh, all torn asunder!
and his judgement rolls with the thunder!
Cause, he handed over to us eternal life
Leaving victorious those who die
So when you cry your tears in his praise
A flood of joy at his good, good grace
Know he came to show, He is the Way
So grab God’s gift, believing, we are saved!
He handed over to us eternal life
Leaving victorious those who die
