1 Jesus lives and so shall I:
Death, thy sting is gone forever!
He for me hath deigned to die,
Lives the bands of death to sever.
He shall raise me from the dust:
Jesus is my hope and trust.

2 Jesus lives and reigns supreme;
And, His kingdom still remaining,
I shall also be with Him,
Ever living, ever reigning.
God has promised - be it must:
Jesus is my hope and trust.

3 Jesus lives - and by His grace,
Vict'ry o'er my passions giving,
I will change my heart and ways,
Ever to His glory living.
Me He raises from the dust:
Jesus is my hope and trust.

4 Jesus lives - I know full well
Naught from Him my heart can sever,
Life nor death nor pow'rs of hell,
Joy nor grief, hence forth forever.
None of all His saints is lost:
Jesus is my hope and trust.

5 Jesus lives - and death is now
But my entrance into glory;
Courage, then, my soul, for thou
Hast a crown of life before thee;
Thou shalt find thy hopes were just:
Jesus is my hope and trust.

Amen.
