Jesus lives! Thy terrors now
Jesus lives! Thy terrors now
Can no longer, death, appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
Thou, O Grave, canst not enthrall us.
Alleluia!
Jesus lives; henceforth is death
But the gate of life immortal;
This shall calm our trembling breath
When we pass its gloomy portal.
Alleluia!
- Jesus lives; for us he died;
Then, alone to Jesus living,
Pure in heart may we abide,
Glory to our Saviour giving.
Alleluia!
- Jesus lives; our hearts know well
Nought from us his love shall sever;
Life, nor death, nor powers of hell
Tear us from his keeping ever.
Alleluia!
- 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.
Alleluia! Amin.
