Death where is thy sting?
Grave where is thy victory?
You were swallowed up in victory
By the Victorious.
Having disarmed principalities and powers,
He made a public spectacle of them,
Triumphing over them in it.
In His majesty He rode out victoriously
For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
His right hand performed awesome miracles!
Thanks be to God who always leads us
In triumph through Christ and through us
Diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge.
He cancelled the charge of our debt.
He has taken it out of the way,
Having nailed it to the cross.
In the world we will have tribulations.
But take heart; He has overcome the world.
In all these things we are more than conquerors
Through Him who loved us and still loves us.
The corruptible will put on incorruption.
The mortal will be clothed with immortality.
The perishable will be dressed with the imperishable.
The Victorious wins every victory.
