Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.1034

First Line: Grand is the song of the Easter morn,

Grand is the song of the Easter morn,
Victory is won ! victory is won !
Far o'er the hills with the light 'tis
borne,
Victory is won through Christ !
Chasing the shades of night away,
Bringing the light of glorious day,
Taking from Death his strength and sway,
Victory is won through Christ 1

2 Grand was the scene when the stone was rolled,
Off from the sepulchre dark and cold :
Angels alone could view that sight ;
Man could not bear that vision bright ;
Forth came the Conqueror armed with might,
Victory is won through Christ !

3 Grand was the word that the women brought,
Mingled with wonders, with glories fraught :
Seek not the living, the angels said,
Seek not the living among the dead ;
Sorrow is past and night is fled,
Victory is won through Christ !

4 Grand is this truth, O saints, for you,
Yours is the joy and the blessing too,
Since Jesus took from Death bis key,
He from the tomb will set us free ;
And through all time and eternity,
Victory is won through Christ !
