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

Our Song of Victory
