Jesus lives! thy terrors now

Can, O death, no more appal us,

Jesus lives! by this we know

Thou, O grave, canst not enthral us.

Hallelujah!

Jesus lives! henceforth is death

Entrance-gate of life immortal;

This shall calm our trembling breath

When we pass its gloomy portal.

Hallelujah!

Jesus lives! for us He died;

Hence may we, to Jesus living,

Pure in heart and act abide,

Praise to Him and glory giving.

Hallelujah!

Jesus lives! our hearts know well

Nought from us His love shall sever,

Life, nor death, nor pow’rs of hell,

Part us now from Christ for ever.

Hallelujah!

Jesus lives! to Him the throne

High o’er heav’n and earth is given,

We may go where He is gone,

Live and reign with Him in heaven.

Hallelujah!
