Halelujah! Jesus lives
He is now the living One;
From the gloomy house of death
Forth the Conqueror has gone;
Bright Forerunner to the skies
Of His people, yet to rise.

Jesus lives! Let all rejoice;
Praise Him, ransomed ones of earth;
Praise Him in a nobler song
Cherubim of heav'nly birth.
Praise the Victor King, whose sway
Sin and death and hell obey

Jesus Lives! Why weepest thou?
Why that sad and frequent 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 thee;
Joined to Him, thy living Head,
Where He is, thou, too, shalt be;
With Himself, at His right hand.
Vict’ry over death shalt stand.

Jesus lives! To Him my heart
Drawn with over new delight.
Earthly vanities, depart,
Hinder not my heav'nward flight.
Let this spirit ever rise
to its Magnet in the skies.

Hallelujah, angels, sing!
Join us in our hymn 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!
