Jesus lives! by Myles Birket Foster — Lyrics

Jesus lives! no longer now can thy terrors, death, appal us; Jesus lives! by this we know Thou, O grave, canst not enthral us. Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of life immortal: This shall calm our trembling breath, When we pass its gloomy portal.

About Jesus lives!

The triumphant words of this anthem express the profound comfort and assurance found in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The text directly confronts the fear of death, proclaiming it no longer a terrifying end but a gateway to eternal life. It speaks of an unbreakable bond between the believer and Christ, declaring that nothing, not even death or the powers of hell, can separate them from His love. This SATB setting in English offers a powerful message of hope, encouraging singers and listeners alike to find peace and anticipate a heavenly reunion with Christ, culminating in a joyous affirmation of Alleluia and Amen.
