Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS:  Jesus lives! Thy terrors now

Behold I am alive for evermore, Amen. Rev.1:18

1.  Jesus lives! Thy terrors now
    Can, o death, no more appal us,
    Jesus lives! By this we know
    Thou, o grave, canst not enthral us Hallelujah!

2. Jesus lives! Henceforth is death
    Entrance-gate of life immortal;
    This shall calm our trembling breath
    When we pass its gloomy portal.
    Hallelujah!

3. Jesus lives! For us He died;
    Hence may we, to Jesus living
    Pure in heart and act abide,
    Praise to Him and glory giving
    Hallelujah!

4. Jesus lives! Our heart know well
    Nothing from us His love shall sever,
    Life, nor death, nor pow'rs of hell,
    Part us now from Christ forever,
    Hallelujah!

5. Jesus lives! To Him the throne.
    High o'er heav'en and earth is given:
    We may go where He is gone .
    Live and reign with Him in heaven, Hallelujah.

Amen.
