Joy of Joys! He Lives, He Lives

Joy of joys! He lives

He lives

Jesus

who sal­va­tion gives!

Rising in the ear­ly gloom

Lo! His glo­ry fills the tomb;

All the earth­ly guards are fled

From the man­sion of the Dead.

Listen

for the an­gels say

See the place where Je­sus lay.

Enter

if ye seek for Him!

There the light shall not be dim;

At His head

and at His feet

Mark the clothes and wind­ing sheet

All in sac­red or­der seen

In the grave where Christ has been;

So He left it

all was done

Ere the ris­ing of the sun.

Earth was trem­bling—Jesus rose

Calmly pass­ing through His foes;

Death hath no do­min­ion now

Captain of Sal­va­tion

Thou!

Jesus

Con­quer­or of the grave

Jesus

Mas­ter

strong to save

Teach our hearts th’un­earth­ly bliss

Of a pur­er world than this!

Bid the pow­ers of dark­ness fly

For the morn is draw­ing nigh;

Show to us the shin­ing way

Us

the child­ren of the day;

Onward

on­ward

in the road

Radiant with the light of God

God the Fa­ther and the Son

And the Spir­it

ev­er one.
