REMINICSE - RECALL - RELIVE
OUR SONG OF VICTORY
(Dedicated to the memory of Erwin Schneider)
Tune similar to "Wabash Cannon Ball"
'Twas a year ago it happened
I can't forget the day
We gathered all together
Our last respects to pay
To one we fondly cherished
Who left this vale below
He was called up by the Master
A better life to know
Sometimes our strength has faltered
Beneath the crushing blow
But naught our faith has altered
For this one thing we know
We have the Saviour's promise
That we shall meet again
Where all the saints are gathered
A crown of life to win
O grave where is they victory?
O death where is thy sting?
You've met the mighty Conquorer
In Jesus Christ the King
Your mighty power is broken
You cannot keep your prey
The graves will all be open
On the resurrection day
We'll walk the streets of glory
Where sorrow comes no more
O what a day of victory
Upon that happy shore
A million years with Jesus
Will only be a start
For through eternal ages
We never more shall part
