Jesus Has Lived!

Jesus has lived! and we would bring

The world’s glad thanks to­day;

And at His feet while an­thems ring

The grate­ful of­fer­ing lay.

Jesus has lived! and His pure life

So per­fect and sub­lime

Shall con­quer man’s dark sin and strife

Through ev­ery rank and clime.

Jesus has died! and o’er the stars

Gone home to God on high:

He burst the grave’s cold pri­son bars

And said

Man can­not die.

Jesus yet lives! and from the sky

Where vic­to­ry He wrote

Before the good man’s clos­ing eye

Visions of glo­ry float.

Jesus yet lives! and oh! may we

While in this val­ley dim

So feel our im­mor­tal­ity

That we may be like Him.
