Jesus Lives, and So Shall I

Verse 1

Jesus lives, and so shall I; Death, thy sting is gone forever! He who deigned for me to die lives, the bands of death to sever. He shall raise me with the just: Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

Verse 2

Jesus lives, and reigns supreme, and, His kingdom still remaining, I shall also be with Him, ever living, ever reigning. God has promised: be it must: Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

Verse 3

Jesus lives, and God extends grace to each returning sinner; rebels He receives as friends and exalts to highest honor. God is True as He is Just; Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

Verse 4

Jesus lives, and by His grace, vict'ry o'er my passions giving, I will cleanse my heart and ways, ever to His glory living. Me He raises from the dust; Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

Verse 5

Jesus lives! I know full well nought from Him my heart can sever, life nor death nor pow'rs of hell, joy nor grief, henceforth forever. None of all His saints is lost; Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

Verse 6

Jesus lives, and death is now but my entrance into glory. Courage, then, my soul, for thou hast a crown of life before thee; thou shalt find thy hopes were just; Jesus is the Christian's Trust.
