Jesus Lives! Thy Terrors Now

Verse 1

Jesus lives! The vict'ry's won! Death no longer can appall me. Jesus lives! Death's reign is done! From the grave Christ will recall me. Brighter scenes will then commence; this shall be my confidence.

Verse 2

Jesus lives! To him the throne high o'er heav'n and earth is given. I shall go where he is gone, live and reign with him in heaven. God is faithful; doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence.

Verse 3

Jesus lives! For me he died; hence will I, to Jesus living, pure in heart and act abide, praise to him and glory giving. All I need God will dispense; this shall be my confidence.

Verse 4

Jesus lives! I know full well nothing me from him shall sever. Life nor death nor pow'rs of hell part me now from Christ forever. God will be a sure defense; this shall be my confidence.

Verse 5

Jesus lives! And now is death but the gate to 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!
