121. O Mighty Hero, Welcome

1. O mighty Hero, welcome,
From out Thy shroud and grave!
Today in Thee we triumph,
For Thou art strong to save!

2. Now hast Thou fully conquered
O’er Satan’s scorn and pride;
Our hearts are filled with solace,
For God is on our side!

3. Our peace is now accomplished,
All fear is now cast out;
In dwellings of the righteous
Is heard the victor’s shout.

4. Divide Thou to us richly
Thy comfort, Lord, we pray;
Let Thy salvation enter
In hearts and home today.

5. Within Thy tomb lies buried
The guilt of all our sin;
And faith there findeth courage
‘Gaint foes without, within.

6. Thou wroughtest our salvation;
All praise to Thee is due;
As we with Thee were buried,
We live in Thee anew.

7. Without a fear or tremor
We go through death with Thee,
For Thou wilt resurrect us
In blest eternity.

8. Unfurl Thy glorious banner
Above our hearts, we pray,
And show to us the pathway
From death to endless day.

9. What harm can yet befall us
Since death hath lost its sting?
The Lord hath shown His power;
His victory we sing!
