The Saviour lives, no more to die;
He lives our Head, enthroned on high;
He lives triumphant o’er the grave;
He lives eternally to save.
He lives to still His people’s fears;
He lives to wipe away their tears;
He lives their mansions to prepare;
He lives to bring them safely there.
The chief of sinners He receives;
His saints He loves, and never leaves;
He’ll guard us safe from every ill,
And all His promises fulfil.
Then let our souls in Him rejoice,
And sing His praise
with cheerful voice;
Our doubts and fears for ever gone,
For Christ is on the Father’s throne.
Abundant grace will He afford,
Till we are present with the Lord;
And prove what we have sung before,
That Jesus lives for evermore.
Ye mourning souls, dry up your tears;
Dismiss your gloomy doubts and fears:
With cheerful hope your hearts revive,
For Christ, the Lord, is yet alive.
His saints he loves, and never leaves;
The contrite sinner he receives:
Abundant grace will he afford,
Till all are present with the Lord.
---Alternative verses---
The Saviour lives, no more to die;
He lives, the Lord enthroned on high;
He lives triumphant o’er the grave;
He lives eternally to save.
He lives to still His servant’s fears;
He lives to wipe away their tears;
He lives their mansions to prepare;
He lives to bring them safely there.
