The Church Triumphant
|
-
Men speak of “a church triumphant"
As something on earth unknown,
They think us beneath the tyrant
Until we shall reach our home.
-
Refrain:
Thank God for a church triumphant,
All pure in this world below!
For the kingdom that Jesus founded
Does triumph o’er every foe.
- Oh, cannot the great Redeemer
Prevail over Satan here?
Or must we remain yet under
Confusion, pressed down in fear?
- He built on a sure foundation,
And said that the gates of hell
Against her divine munition
Can never indeed prevail.
- ’Tis not in the church of Jesus
That people yet live in sin;
But in the dark creeds they’re joining,
And vainly are trusting in.
- God’s church is alone triumphant,
In holiness all complete;
And all the dark pow’rs of Satan
She tramples beneath her feet.
