Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox, 1812-97; Christian Füchtegott Gellert, 1715-69 Hymnal: Together in Song #372 (1999) Meter: 7.8.7.8 with alleluia Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives! your terrors now
can, O death, no more appal us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
now the grave cannot enthral us.
Hallelujah!
2 Jesus lives! for us he died;
then may we, for Jesus living,
pure in heart, in him abide,
glory to our Saviour giving.
Hallelujah!
3 Jesus lives! our hearts know well
naught from us his love shall sever:
fame, or hurt, or powers of hell
tear us from his keeping never.
Hallelujah!
4 Jesus lives! henceforth is death
not for us a gloomy portal
when we take our final breath,
but the gate to life immortal.
Hallelujah!
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.
