TRIUMPH.

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.—Exodus, xv. 1.

The triumphing of the wicked is short.—Job, xx. 5.

Thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.—II. Corinthians, ii. 14.

Hail, Thou! that on this glorious morn didst burst

The bands of death! all hail, incarnate Lord!

First-born of heaven, what time the barren grave

With wondrous throes gave forth Thy present flesh,

In all its incorruptible array

Of majesty and light. Triumphant Lord,
