Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Jesus lives! thy terrors now
Can no more, O death, appal us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
Thou, O grave, canst not enthral us.
Alleluia!
VERSE 2
Jesus lives! henceforth is death
But the gate of life immortal;
This shall calm our trembling breath,
When we pass its gloomy portal.
Alleluia!
VERSE 3
Jesus lives! for us he died;
Then, alone to Jesus living,
Pure in heart may we abide,
Glory to our Saviour giving.
Alleluia!
VERSE 4
Jesus lives! our hearts know well
Naught from us his love shall sever;
Life nor death nor powers of hell
Tear us from his keeping ever.
Alleluia!
VERSE 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.
Alleluia!
