Thy victory, O grave? 6 Then hallelujah! power and praise To God in Christ be given; May all who now this anthem raise, Renew the strain in heaven.

If, while the Jewish ages

Author: T. H. Stockton Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 If, while the Jewish ages Still added to the word, Kings, prophets, priests, and sages Looked vainly for the Lord; How blest are we who know him So early in our youth; How gladly should we show him Our love in deed and truth! 2 If, when he came from glory, The angels flew to sing Redemption's opening story-- The birthday of the King: Well may we lift our voices, Rememb'ring how he died, While every heart rejoices To praise the Crucified. 3 So all who ever sought him Have had their sins forgiven; And even children brought him Are welcomed home to heaven: Look, look we all above us, And lift our hymn on high, For he who doth so love us Is smiling from the sky.
