His be the Victor's name,
|
Rev 5.5 the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed
|
Who fought the fight alone;
|
Isa 59.16 he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation
|
Triumphant saints no honour claim,
|
Isa 63.3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me
|
His conquest was their own.
|
1Cor 15.57 thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

Through weakness and defeat
|
2Cor 13.4 though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God
|
He won the meed and crown;
|
Re 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
|
Trod all our foes beneath His feet,
|
Col 2.15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
|
In being trodden down.
|
Ge 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

He Satan's power laid low;
|
Heb 2.14 that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil
|
Made sin, sin's reign o'erthew;
|
2Cor 5.21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him
|
Bowed to the grave, destroyed it so,
|
Isa 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory. And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken.
|
And death
|
Acts 2.24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death
|
by dying slew.
|
Hos 13.4 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction

Bless, bless the conqueror slain,
|
Re 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
|
Slain in His victory;
|
Heb 9:15 that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
|
Who lived, who died who lives again
|
Rev 1.18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore
|
In glorious majesty.
|
Rev 1.13 ,16 one like unto the Son of man... and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
