Jesus lives! The vict’ry’s won!
Death no longer can appall me;

Jesus lives! Death’s reign is done!
From the grave will Christ recall me.

Brighter scenes will then commence;
This shall be my confidence.

Jesus lives! To Him the throne
High above all things is given.

I shall go where He is gone,
Live and reign with Him in heaven.

God is faithful; doubtings, hence!
This shall be my confidence.

Jesus lives! For me He died.
Hence above all things is living,

Pure in heart and act abide,
Praise to Him and glory giving.

All I need God will dispense;
This shall be my confidence.

Jesus lives! I know full well
Nothing me from Him shall sever,

Neither death nor pow’rs of hell
Part me now from Christ forever.

God will be my sure defense;
This shall be my confidence.

Jesus lives! And now is death
But the gate of life immortal;

This shall calm my trembling breath
When I pass its gloomy portal.

Faith shall cry, as fails each sense;
This shall be my confidence!
