1 Jesus lives! the victory's won!
Death no longer can appal me.
Jesus lives! death's reign is done:
from the grave will Chrisst recall me.
Brighter scenes shall then commence;
this shall be my confidence.

2 Jesus lives! to him the throne
there above all things is given.
I shall go where he is gone,
live and reign with him in heaven.
All I need will God dispense;
this shall be my confidence.

3 Jeus lives! for me he died,
hence will I, to Jesus living,
pure in heart and act abide
praise to him and glory givine.
God is faithful; doubtings, hence!
this shall be my confidence.

4 Jesus lives! and I am sure
neither death nor life shall sever
me from him. I shall endure
in his love, thro' death, forever.
God will be my sure defense;
this shall be my confidence.

5 Jesus lives! and now is death
but the gate of life immortal;
this shall calm my trembling breath
when I pass its gloomy portal.
Faith shall cry, as fails each sense,
"Jesus is my confidence!"
