2787 8. 7 8. 4
    JESUS lives! thy terrors now
Can no longer, Death, appal us;
    Jesus lives! by this we know,
Thou, O Grave, canst not enthral 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.
 
3      Jesus lives! for us He died;
Then, alone to Jesus living,
    Pure in heart may we abide,
Glory to our Saviour giving.
 
4      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.
 
5      Jesus lives! to Him the throne
Over all the world is given:
    May we go where He is gone,
Rest and reign with Him in Heaven.
