1  Jesus lives! thy terrors now

    Can, O Death, no more apall us;

    Jesus lives! by this we know

    Thou, O Grave, canst not enthrall 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.

          Hallelujah!

 3  Jesus lives! for us He died;

    Then alone to Jesus living,

    Pure in heart may we abide,

    Glory to our Savior giving.

          Hallelujah!

 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.

          Hallelujah!

 5  Jesus lives! to Him the Throne

    Over all the world is given;

    We, in spirit with Him one,

    Rest and reign with Him in heaven.

          Hallelujah!
