Jesus Lives

"Jesus Lives" is a triumphant Easter hymn that rings out from the choir loft with absolute certainty. Set to the sturdy tune St. Albinus, the words boldly declare Christ's victory over the grave. When we sing "thy terrors now can no more, O death, appal us," we are reminding the congregation—and ourselves—that the Resurrection changes everything.

The hymn moves beautifully from the cosmic reality of the empty tomb to our own personal hope. Each verse builds on the promise that because He lives, we too shall live, culminating in the joyful, repeated "Alleluia!" at the end of every stanza. It is a perfect choice for Easter Sunday Mass or any celebration of the Resurrection, offering a bright, confident anchor for the liturgy.
