He Lives! The Savior Lives!

Silent a gar­den rest­eth in sha­dow—

Shadow the moon­light can­not dis­pel;

Soldiers in ar­mor

grim Ro­man sol­diers

Watch o’er a sleep­er

guard­ing Him well.

Over Ju­dea late­ly He trod

On er­rands of love to lead men to God.

O blest East­er sto­ry

O fore­taste of glo­ry

Triumphant o’er death

Je­sus rose from the dead;

Redeemer and Sav­ior! Ex­alt­ed for­ev­er!

Repeat the blest words

He is ris’n as He said!

Stillness un­brok­en! Far in the dist­ance

White gleam the road­ways

mid­night has sped;

Lo! earth is shak­en! God sends an an­gel!

Soldiers in ter­ror fall as if dead!

Seal

thou art brok­en

He who was there

Is migh­ty to save! His pow­er you de­clare!

Morning ap­proach­eth

earth’s fair­est morn­ing

Bright in the heav­ens

glo­ry ap­pears;

Visions of an­gels seen in the dawn­ing

Voices of an­gels calm­ing earth’s fears.

Why seek the liv­ing here ’mid the dead?

For Je­sus the Lord is ris’n as He said.

He lives

the Sav­ior lives!

He lives

the Sav­ior lives!
