Gandy: His be the Victor’s name

Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle
Meditation:
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
—Romans 8:37 (NIV)

Quotation:
His be the Victor’s name
Who fought the fight alone;
Triumphant saints no honour claim,
His conquest was their own.
 
By weakness and defeat,
He won the meed and crown;
Trod all our foes beneath His feet
By being trodden down.
 
He Satan’s power laid low;
Made sin, He sin o’erthrew;
Bowed to the grave, destroyed it so,
And death by dying slew.
 
Bless, bless the Conqueror slain,
Slain in His victory;
Who lived, who died, who lives again—
For thee, His church, for thee!
... Samuel Whitelock Gandy (1780-1851) (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You have prevailed over all our enemies.
