1 Tho’ the tomb essayed to hold him in its dark embrace,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives!
In the morning, in the garden, Mary met him face to face,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives!

Refrain:
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
We will tell the blessed tidings o’er and o’er;
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Jesus lives for evermore!

2 Jesus Christ, the Saviour, liveth in my heart today,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives!
Since his pard’ning pow’r has reached me, I’ve been singing all the way,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives! [Refrain]

3 Ev’ry one who seeks salvation will this grace receive,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives!
If on Christ, the risen Saviour, in their hearts they will believe,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives! [Refrain]

4 By and by we’ll meet this Jesus, when he claims his own,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives!
And our crowns of vict’ry wearying, we will sing around the throne,
Hallelujah! Jesus lives! [Refrain]
