Thine Be the Glory, Risen Conquering Son (French: À toi la glory O Ressuscité ), also titled Thine Is the Glory , is a Christian hymn for Easter , written by the Swiss Protestant minister, Edmond Budry (1854–1932) , and set to the tune of the chorus "See, the Conqu'ring hero comes" from the third section of Handel's oratorio Judas Maccabaeus . The hymn is sometimes sung at weddings or funerals, and in Ireland is associated with Christmas as well as Easter.

An English translation was made in 1923 by Richard Birch Hoyle (1875–1939). The German Advent hymn Tochter Zion, freue dich uses the same tune.

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory, thou o'er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave clothes where thy body lay.
Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, thou o'er death hast won.

Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
for her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.
Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, thou o'er death hast won.

No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is naught without thee; aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors, through thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above.
Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, thou o'er death hast won.
