the victor

It is not possible, wonderful Lord,

to express in human speech

the depths of our gratitude to God

for the preciousness of the hope we have in our Lord Jesus,

the Conqueror of death, of the grave, of hell;

the Victor who stands mighty to save.

O Lord,

our lives, our hearts, our souls flow to You.

May God give us strength and length of days to praise You;

then in the eternity to come,

to share in the angels’ song

and the saints’ paean of love and gratitude,

oh what God has done for us!

- W. A. Criswell
