Victory!
Oh loving Father— God on high,
Thou hast healed me, heard my cry!
My enemy of pain has fled;
The battle's won— I lift my head
In triumph, and exulting shout:
"The living Truth is error's rout!"
Oh for the tongue of an angel to cry
My paeans of joy aloud to the sky!
Victory! Victory!
But hush, my heart, thy song restrain;
Oh bow before thy God again!
Here kneel, and silence every sound;
For lo! this place is holy ground.
