Hallelujah! Jesus Lives!

Hallelujah! Je­sus lives!

He is now the Liv­ing One;

From the gloomy halls of death

Christ

the Con­quer­or

has gone

Bright fore­run­ner to the skies

Of His peo­ple

yet to rise.

Jesus lives! Why do you weep?

Why that sad and mourn­ful sigh?

He who died our bro­ther here

Lives our bro­ther still on high.

Lives for­ev­er to be­stow

Blessings on His church be­low.

Jesus lives! And thus

my soul

Life eter­nal waits for you;

Joined to Him

your liv­ing head

Where He is

you shall be

too;

With the Lord

at His right hand

As a vic­tor you shall stand.

Jesus lives! Let all re­joice.

Praise Him

ran­somed of the earth.

Praise Him in a nob­ler song

Cherubim of heav­en­ly birth.

Praise the vic­tor King

whose sway

Sin and death and hell ob­ey.

Jesus lives! To Him my heart

Draws with ev­er new de­light.

Earthly va­ni­ties

de­part

Hinder not my heav­en­ward flight.

Let this spir­it ev­er rise

To its mag­net in the skies.

Hallelujah! An­gels

sing!

Join with us in hymns of praise.

Let your chor­us swell the strain

Which our feeb­ler voic­es raise;

Glory to our God ab­ove

And on earth His peace and love!
