1. Thine is the glory, Risen, conqu'ring Son; Endless is the vict'ry Thou o'er death hast won. Angels in bright raiment Rolled the stone away, Kept the folded grave clothes Where Thy body lay. 2. Lo! Jesus meets us, Risen, from the tomb; Lovingly He greets us, Scatters fear and gloom; Let His church with gladness Hymns of triumph sing, For her Lord now liveth; Death hath lost its sting. 3. No more we doubt Thee, Glorious Prince of Life! Life is naught without Thee; Aid us in our strife; Make us more than conqu'rors, Through Thy deathless love; Bring us safe through Jordan With Thy power and love. Chorus: Thine is the glory, Risen, conqu'ring Son; Endless is the vict'ry Thou o'er death hast won.

“Thine Is the Glory” was originally written in 1884 in French—“A Toi la Gloire,” by Edmond Budry, a pastor in Vevey, Switzerland. Nearly forty years later, it was translated into English by Richard Hoyle and appeared in the Cantate Domino Hymnal used by the Student Christian Federation.
