Jesus lives! your terrors now

1  Jesus lives! your terrors now 
  can, O grave, no more appal us; 
 Jesus lives! by this we know 
  death itself cannot enthral us. 
      Hallelujah! 
 
2  Jesus lives! henceforth is death 
  but the gate of life immortal; 
 this shall calm our trembling breath, 
  when we pass its gloomy portal. 
 
3  Jesus lives! for us He died; 
  then, alone to Jesus living, 
 pure in heart may we abide, 
  glory to our Saviour giving. 
 
4  Jesus lives! our hearts know well 
  nought from us His love shall sever; 
 life, nor death, nor powers of hell 
  tear us from His keeping ever. 
 
5  Jesus lives! to Him the throne 
  over all the world is given; 
 may we go where He is gone, 
  rest and reign with Him in heaven.
