| Text: | Jesus lives! thy terrors now |
| Author: | Christian F. Gellert |
| Translator: | Frances E. Cox |
| Tune: | ST. ALBINUS |
| Composer: | Henry J. Gauntlett |
1 Jesus lives! thy terrors now
Can no longer, death, appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
Thou, O grave, canst not enthrall us.
Alleluia!
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!
3 Jesus lives! for us he died;
Then, alone to Jesus living,
Pure in heart may we abide,
Glory to our Saviour giving.
Alleluia!
4 Jesus lives! our hearts know well
Naught from us his love shall sever;
Life, nor death, nor pow'rs of hell
Tear us from his keeping ever.
Alleluia!
5 Jesus lives! to him the throne
Over all the world is given:
May we go where he has gone,
Rest and reign with him in heaven.
Alleluia!
Amen.
