on the earth, confusion, but in heaven an open door,
where the living creatures praise the Lamb for evermore:
Love has the victory for ever!
Refrain:
Amen, he comes! to bring his own reward!
Amen, praise God! for justice now restored;
kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of the Lord:
Love has the victory for ever!
2 All the gifts you send us, Lord, are faithful, good, and true;
holiness and righteousness are shown in all you do:
who can see your greatest Gift and fail to worship you!
Love has the victory for ever! [Refrain] Topics: God, Saviour Returning and Triumphant; Advent 1 The Advent Hope Scripture: Revelation 4, 5 Languages: English Tune Title: MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA
Amen, he comes! to bring his own reward!
