Jesus Lives! The Victory's Won

Jesus lives! The victory's won! Death no longer can appal me; Jesus lives! Death's reign is done! From the grave Christ will recall me. Brighter scenes will then commence; This shall be my confidence. 2. Jesus lives! To Him the throne High o'er heaven and earth is given. I shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven. God is faithful. Doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence. 3. Jesus lives! Who now despairs Spurns the word which God hath spoken; Grace to all that word declares, Grace whereby sin's yoke is broken. Christ rejects not penitence; This shall be my confidence.

4. Jesus lives! For me He died, Hence will I, to Jesus living, Pure in heart and act abide, Praise to Him and glory giving. Freely God doth aid dispense; This shall be my confidence. 5. Jesus lives! I know full well Naught from me His love shall sever; Life nor death nor powers of hell Part me now from Christ forever. God will be a sure Defense; This shall be my confidence. 6. Jesus lives! and now is death But the gate of life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath When I pass its gloomy portal. Faith shall cry, as fails each sense, Jesus is my confidence!
