(\'Thine be the glory\')
1 Corinthians 15 v.51-58

Chorus
Death, where is your sting? Grave, where victory?
Christ has overcome death, Victor e\'er He be
Here be a mystery, we not all sleep [in death]
But we shall all be changed, not forever weep
In a moment, in the twinkling of our eyes
At the last trumpet\'s sound, then the dead shall rise - Chorus
For they shall be raised, incorruptible
We alive shall be changed, here be glories all
For this corruptible must put on, \'tis true
Incorruption, for Christ shall make all things new - Chorus
And mortal must don immortality
So the saying comes to pass eternally
\'Where O death your sting? Where grave your victory?
Death is swallowed up in endless victory\' - Chorus
The sting of death is sin, and strength of sin
Is the law, but now let praise to God begin
And thanks, for He the one who gives victory
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, resurrected He - Chorus
So be you steadfast and immoveable
Always abounding in the Lord\'s work in all
For you know your labour in Him is not vain
He arisen, and eternal life we gain - Chorus
