Meter for this hymn: 87.87.D; tune is Beach Spring.
Death defeated! Love is reigning
O'er the powers of sin and hell!
Let the songs of all the faithful
With the hymns of angels swell.
Mary, virgin mother blessed,
Now with Christ in triumph reigns,
Here assumed, both soul and body,
Has escaped corruption's chains.
As the Ark was brought in triumph
To the place which David planned,
So has Mary, Tabernacle,
Come at Christ's right hand to stand.
Immortality has clothed her
Who, as mortal, had to die;
Now the Church, God's faithful people,
Sing this endless hymn on high:
Praise to Father, Source of blessing;
Praise to Christ, true Light from Light;
Praise to Spirit, life's own Giver:
God of love and God of might!
As Our Lady has been granted
Life abundant at Your side,
Lead us on in faithful service
Till we all in heaven bide.
