Jesus lives! The vict’ry’s won!
Death no longer can appall me;
Death no longer can appall me;
Jesus lives! Death’s reign is done!
From the grave will Christ recall me.
From the grave will Christ recall me.
Brighter scenes will then commence;
This shall be my confidence.
This shall be my confidence.
Jesus lives! To Him the throne
High above all things is given.
High above all things is given.
I shall go where He is gone,
Live and reign with Him in heaven.
Live and reign with Him in heaven.
God is faithful; doubtings, hence!
This shall be my confidence.
This shall be my confidence.
Jesus lives! For me He died.
Hence above all things is living,
Hence above all things is living,
Pure in heart and act abide,
Praise to Him and glory giving.
Praise to Him and glory giving.
All I need God will dispense;
This shall be my confidence.
This shall be my confidence.
Jesus lives! I know full well
Nothing me from Him shall sever,
Nothing me from Him shall sever,
Neither death nor pow’rs of hell
Part me now from Christ forever.
Part me now from Christ forever.
God will be my sure defense;
This shall be my confidence.
This shall be my confidence.
Jesus lives! And now is death
But the gate of life immortal;
But the gate of life immortal;
This shall calm my trembling breath
When I pass its gloomy portal.
When I pass its gloomy portal.
Faith shall cry, as fails each sense;
This shall be my confidence!
This shall be my confidence!
