O death! where's now thy mortal sting?
Where's now thy victory?
To-day His glorious praise we sing,
Who triumphed over thee.
Not triumphed for Himself alone;
But, by His mighty power,
Taught us to triumph in our turn,
Nor dread thy terrors more.
For lo ! the dread of death is sin
And never-ending woe;
From thence it is our terrors spring,
From thence our evils flow.
But now, from sin and hell set free,
No longer death we'll fear;
But longing for eternity
Rejoice when it draws near.
Ye angels, now, who watch around
The Conqueror's heavenly throne,
Aid us to make the skies resound
The victory for us won.
Aid us to sing His worthy praise
With one united heart;
Aid us tb walk in all His ways,
Till we from life depart.
