145 Jesus Lives! The Victory's Won

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. 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; doubting, hence! This shall be my confidence. 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. Freely God does aid dispense; This shall be my confidence. 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. 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: This shall be my confidence.
