General (Vol. 2)
Christ Triumphant Dwells within Us
- Christ Triumphant dwells within us,
Guest of every willing heart,
Strong above the power of oceans,
Gentle as the healer's art:
We are His in life and learning,
Through the Eucharist and Word,
In His Church in faith discerning
That his message will be heard. - We are heirs to all the splendour
Of Your Saints throughout the years,
Blood and torture, prayer and praising
Through the times of joy and tears:
We, like them, have seen Your glory
Vowed to stay both strong and true
But we need their famous story,
How they saw their mission through. - We are saints within Your meaning,
Printed with the Cross and tomb
But until our lives have ended
We must earn and not presume:
In our sainthood we are fashioned
With the love that God imparts,
Furnished with Our Saviour's Passion
And the Spirit in our hearts.
