'Tis for conquering kings to gain Glory o'er their myriads slain; Jesus, Thy more glorious strife Hath restored a world to life. So no other Name is giv'n Unto mortals under Heav'n Which can make the dead to rise, And exalt them to the skies. That which Christ so hardly wrought, That which He so dearly bought, That salvation, mortals, say, Will you madly cast away? Rather gladly for that Name Bear the cross, endure the shame; Joyfully for Him to die Is not death, but victory. Dost Thou, Jesus, condescend To be called the sinner's Friend? Ours, then, it shall always be Thus to make our boast of Thee.
