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 Savior 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!
