He Lives! O Fainting Heart, Anew

He lives! O faint­ing heart

anew

With joy thy Lord and Sav­ior view!

He from the si­lent cham­ber woke

And speaks again as e’er He spoke.

A quick­en­ing hand He has to give:

He lives

and thou shalt al­so live.

O hear His voice

and take His hand

Thou tra­vel­er to a bet­ter land;

While pass­ing through thy cru­cial test

Lift up thy head—a peace­ful rest

Thy tri­als over

He shall give:

He lives

and thou shalt also live.

Ye dead in sin

awake

arise!

The Lord is call­ing from the skies.

Repentant come

in faith re­main

And live in Him; from sin and pain

And death shall He sal­va­tion give:

He lives

and thou shalt al­so live.

With Him thy guide

lies smooth and bright

Thy path­way to the realm of light;

Abiding faith

un­dy­ing love

And hope lead to the home above.

Thy life in­to His keep­ing give:

He lives

and thou shalt also live.

Of glo­ry shall His rai­ment be;

O’er time and o’er eter­ni­ty

The Sun of Right­eous­ness shall shine;

On Heav­en’s throne He sits di­vine;

A foot­stool earth to Him shall give:

He lives

and thou shalt al­so live.
