1 Jesus lives! thy terrors now
Can, O Death, no more appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
now the grave cannot enthrall us.
Hallelujah!
2 Jesus lives! for us He died;
Then may we, for Jesus living,
Pure in heart in him abide,
Glory to our Savior giving.
Hallelujah!
3 Jesus lives! our hearts know well
Naught from us His love shall sever;
fame, or hurt, or powers of hell
Tear us from His keeping never.
Hallelujah!
4 Jesus lives! henceforth is death
not for us a gloomy portal
when we take our final breath,
but the gate to life immortal,
Hallelujah!
5 Jesus lives! to Him the Throne
Over all the world is given;
may we go where he has gone
Rest and reign with Him in heaven.
Hallelujah!
