Jesus lives! your terrors now can no longer, death, appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know you, O grave, cannot entrall us.

Jesus lives! for us he died; the, alone to Jesus living,
pure in heart may we abide, glory to our Savior giving.
Alleluia!

Jesus lives! our hearts know well nothing from his love will keep us
life, now death, nor powers of hell tear us from his keeping ever.
Alleluia!

Jesus lives! to him the throne over all the world is given:
may we go where he has gone, rest and live with him in heaven.
Alleluia!
