The Song of Victory

By Eliza H. Morton

ELIZA H. MORTON

FROM mighty hosts in days of old a song Arose,— a song of victory and praise,— E'en like the voice of ocean waves sublime, Majestic in their harmony. For then And there deliverance had come from foes Behind and from the sea before, and why Should not the people sing, and all the hills Rejoice, for God had triumphed gloriously?

And now we hear a song of victory, A victory over sin within the heart. Our God hath wrought for us, and we will sing His praise. What love, what matchless love! O, shout For joy, ye ransomed of the Lord, yea, shout And sing! Put sin beneath your feet. Arise And shine; the victory is ours. Amen.

A greater song of victory will be sung When all the foes of righteousness have fled Before the beauty of the Lord, and all The pure in heart, the Israel of God, Stand on the sea of glass, redeemed, with harps Within their hands, and clothed in robes of white. Their song will be the song of old, and yet, Far more, the song of Moses and the Lamb.
