Lyrics

Oh, ye re­deemed of the Lord, re­joice,
Victory is won, vic­to­ry is won.
Wake, wake the song with a tune­ful voice,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
Washed in the blood that makes us free,
Heirs of His grace thro’ faith are we;
Ever in this our boast shall be,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.

Over the foes that in chains He bound,
Victory is won, vic­to­ry is won.
Hark, how the anthems of joy re­sound,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
Over the tomb where Je­sus lay
Shineth the light of end­less day,
Oh, ye re­deemed, be glad and say,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.

Fear not the world nor the tempt­er’s pow­er,
Victory is won, vic­to­ry is won.
Sing and pro­claim in the dark­est hour,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
Glory to Him who died for men,
Glory to Him who lives again,
Herald afar the sweet re­frain.
Victory is won thro’ Christ.

Lift up your eyes to the gates of gold,
Victory is won, vic­to­ry is won.
Praise ye the Lord for His love un­told,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
Sing till the wea­ry night is o’er,
Sing when we reach the heav’n­ly shore,
Sing with the mill­ions gone be­fore,
Victory is won thro’ Christ.
