Author: J. H. Sammis Hymnal: Evangelistic Songs #7 (1927) First Line: On Calvary my Saviour died Refrain First Line: He rose a victor o'er the grave Lyrics: 1 On Calvary my Saviour died Where for my sins He bled; He rose, and I am justified; He lives, Who once was dead. Refrain: He rose a victor o’er the grave; He lives exalted now to save; He lives to plead my cause on high; He lives to guide me with His eye; He lives to bring me to the sky And I shall see Him bye and bye. 2 Death captive help Him but an hour, My ever-living head! He rose in glory and in pow’r; He lives, Who once was dead. [Refrain] 3 He bore within the Holy place, The precious drops He shed; And sprinkled there the Throne of Grace He lives, Who once was dead. [Refrain] 4 Now far above the highest heav’n, He’s seated in my stead; And grace for all my need is giv’n; He lives, Who once was dead. [Refrain] 5 And soon with all His saints He’ll bring The glory as He said; Loud shall the hallelujahs ring— He lives, Who once was dead.
