1 Jesus lives! no longer now
Can Thy terrors, Death, appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
From the grave He will recall us.
Brighter scenes will then commence;
This shall be our confidence.

2 Jesus lives! to Him the throne
High o'er heaven and earth is given;
I shall go where He is gone,
Live and reign with Him in heaven,
God is pledged; weak doubtings hence!
This shall be our confidence.

3 Jesus lives! we know full well,
Naught from us His love shall sever;
Life, nor death, nor powers of hell,
Part us now from Christ for ever.
God will be a sure defence;
This shall be our confidence.

4 Jesus lives! henceforth is death
But the gate of Life Immortal;
This shall calm our trembling breath
When I pass its gloomy portal;
Faith shall cry, as fails each sense:
"Lord, Thou art our confidence!"

Amen.
