120. Jesus Lives! And With Him I!

1. Jesus lives! And with Him I!
Death no longer can appall me.
Lo, He lives and reigns on high,
And from death and grave will call me.
I shall then be glorified:
In this faith I here abide!
In this faith I here abide!

2. Jesus lives! To Him the throne
Over all the world is given.
I shall go where He is gone,
Live and reign with Him in heaven.
Trusting God’s omnipotence,
This shall be my confidence!
This shall be my confidence!

3. Jesus lives! Who here despairs
Nor to Son nor Father giveth
Honor, yet He grace declares
To the sinner that He liveth;
God through Christ forgives offense:
This shall be my confidence!
This shall be my confidence!

4. Jesus lives! His healing’s mine;
My life give I to my Savior!
Ne’er oppose your Lord divine,
Then He will dwell in you ever;
Truly God doth aid dispense:
This shall be my confidence!
This shall be my confidence!

5. Jesus lives! I know full well!
Naught from Him can part me ever.
Earth’s acclaim nor power of hell
This, my unity, can sever;
For He is my faith’s defense:
This shall be my confidence!
This shall be my confidence!

6. Jesus lives! And now shall death
Be the gate to life immortal:
He doth comfort thus bequeath
When I must pass through its portal.
O, what comfort issues thence:
Jesus Christ, my Confidence!
Jesus Christ, my Confidence!

7. Jesus, my Redeemer lives!
Hence I shall to life awaken.
O, what joy this message gives!
How, then, can my hope be shaken?
For how could our blessed Head
Rise and leave His members dead?
Rise and leave His members dead?

8. By the bond of hope and love
I am bound unto the Master.
Faith looks up to Him above,
Rests on Him through all disaster.
Even death now cannot keep
From my Shepherd me, His sheep.
From my Shepherd me, His sheep.

9. Who here suffers, sighs, and yearns
There will walk in glorious spendor;
Here my flesh to dust returns,
There it will arise in grandeur;
Sown here in mortality,
But there risen gloriously,
But there risen gloriously.

10. Then rejoice, His children dear,
In His guidance and protection;
Death may come, but do not fear:
There shall be a resurrection
When the final trump shall call,
From the graves awaken all!
From the graves awaken all!
