96. Jesus Lives

1 Tell the everlasting story,
Jesus lives! Jesus lives!
Spread the joyful tidings far beyond the sea,
That in all His kingly glory
Jesus lives! Jesus lives!
Victor over death for you and me.

Refrain:
Jesus lives! Jesus lives!
And our many sins He lovingly forgives,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives! He lives!
Death is conquered now that Jesus lives.

2 Tell the souls bowed down in sorrow,
Jesus lives! Jesus lives!
Bid them lay their weary heads upon His breast;
Then shall dawn a brighter morrow,
Jesus lives! Jesus lives!
And their hearts shall gain eternal rest. [Refrain]

3 Join the chorus then in singing,
Jesus lives! Jesus lives!
In the music of the song of songs sublime,
Send the echoes farther ringing,
Jesus lives! Jesus lives!
Thro’ the ages on the wings of time. [Refrain]
