Fed Up with Bad Church Music? Try Handel's ""Thine Be the Glory"

Choir of King's College Cambridge - Handel: Thine be the glory (from/de Judas Maccabeus) - Stephen Cleobury. http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/choir/


Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory, thou o'er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave clothes where thy body lay.


Refrain: Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, thou o'er death hast won. Lo!


Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
for her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.


No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is naught without thee; aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors, through thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above.
