 1 

Jesus lives! thy terrors now

Can, O Death, no more apall us;

Jesus lives! by this we know

Thou, O Grave, canst not enthrall 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.

Hallelujah!

 
 3 

Jesus lives! for us He died;

Then alone to Jesus living,

Pure in heart may we abide,

Glory to our Savior giving.

Hallelujah!

 
 4 

Jesus lives! our hearts know well

Naught from us His love shall sever;

Life, nor death, nor powers of hell

Tear us from His keeping ever.

Hallelujah!

 
 5 

Jesus lives! to Him the Throne

Over all the world is given;

We, in spirit with Him one,

Rest and reign with Him in heaven.

Hallelujah!
