His Be The Victor’s Name

His be the Victor’s name  Who fought the fight alone;  Triumphant saints no honor claim,  His conquest was their own. 
By weakness and defeat,  He won the meed and crown;  Trod all our foes beneath His feet  By being trodden down. 
He Satan’s power laid low;  Made sin, He sin o’erthrew;  Bowed to the grave, destroyed it so,  And death by dying slew. 
Bless, bless the Conqueror slain,  Slain in His victory;  Who lived, who died, who lives again –  For thee, His Church, for thee!  —S. Whitlock Gandy (died 1851)
