- 1He lives! the great Redeemer lives!
- What joy the blest assurance gives!
- And now, before his Father, God,
- Pleads the full merits of his blood.
- 2Repeated crimes awake our fears,
- And justice armed with frowns appears;
- But in the Saviour's lovely face
- Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace.
- 3In every dark, distressful hour,
- When sin and Satan join their power,
- Let this dear hope repel the dart,
- That Jesus bears us on his heart.
- 4Great Advocate, almighty Friend!
- On him our humble hopes depend;
- Our cause can never, never fail,
- For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.
