Hymn
Jesus Lives! Thy Terrors Now
Jesus lives! No longer now
Can thy terrors, death, appall us;
Jesus lives! By this we know
From the grave He will recall us.
Brighter scenes will there commence;
This shall be our confidence.
Jesus lives! To Him the throne
High o'er heav'n and earth is given;
We shall go where He is gone,
Live and reign with Him in heaven;
God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence!
This shall be our confidence.
Jesus lives! We know full well,
Naught from us His love shall sever;
Life, nor death, nor pow'rs of hell,
Part us now from Christ forever.
God will be a sure defence:
This shall be our confidence.
Jesus lives! And now is death
But the gate of life immortal;
This shall calm our trembling breath
When we pass its gloomy portal;
Faith shall cry as fails each sense:
Lord, Thou art our confidence.
