LyicsChristian, the vision before thee is glorious,
The earth shall allure thy tried spirit no more;
Thou wast in the day of thy trial victorious,
Secure now at last, thy temptations are o'er,
Temptations are o'er.
Hard was the strife, but the strong one in battle
Has been thy defender, and vanquished thy foes;
And heaven stood by thee to help thee in trouble,
And joyed when the sound of thy triumph arose,
Thy triumph arose.
High was the anthem those raptures revealing,
Ten thousand celestials the chorus prolong;
But louder the strains of the ransomed are pealing,
And glory is swelling the conqueror's song,
The conqueror's song.
