Jesus lives! Your terrors now
can, O death, no more appal us:
Jesus lives! By this we know
you, O grave, cannot enthral us:
Hallelujah!
2. Jesus lives! Henceforth is death
but the gate of life immortal;
this shall calm our trembling breath
when we pass its gloomy portal:
3. Jesus lives! For us he died:
then, alone to Jesus living,
pure in heart may we abide,
glory to our Saviour giving:
4. Jesus lives! This bond of love
neither life nor death shall sever:
powers in hell or heaven above
tear us from his keeping never:
5. Jesus lives! To him the throne
over all the world is given;
may we go where he is gone,
rest and reign with him in heaven:
