lyrics
1 Jesus lives! no longer now
can thy terrors, Death, appall me;
Jesus lives! by this I know
from the grave he will recall me;
brighter scenes at death commence;
this shall be my confidence—
this shall be my confidence
2 Jesus lives! to him the Throne
high o'er heaven and earth is given;
I may go where he is gone,
live and reign with him in heaven:
God through Christ forgives offense;
this shall be my confidence—
his shall be my confidence
Jesus lives! — for me he died;
hence will I, to Jesus living,
pure in heart — and act abide,
praise to him and glory giving
praise to him and glory giving
4 Jesus lives! my heart knows well
nought from me his Love shall sever;
life, nor death, nor powers of hell,
part me now from Christ for ever:
God will be a sure Defense;
this shall be my confidence—
his shall be my confidence
Jesus lives! — transformed is death
to a gate of life immortal;
this shall calm — my trembling breath,
when I pass its gloomy portal:
Jesus lives! — transformed is death
o a gate — of life immortal;
this shall calm — my trembling breath,
when I pass — its gloomy portal:
when I pass — its gloomy portal:
faith shall cry, as fails each sense,
Lord, thou art my Confidence
Lord, thou art my Confidence
