Jesus lives, and so shall I,
Death, thy sting is gone forever;
He Who deigned for me to die,
Lives, the bands of death to sever.
He shall raise me with the just;
Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

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.

Jesus lives, and God extends
Grace to each returning sinner;
Rebels He receives as friends,
And exalts to highest honour.
God is true as He is just:
Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

Jesus lives, and I am sure
Naught shall e'er from Jesus sever;
Satan's wiles and Satan's power,
Pain or pleasure, ye shall never!
Christian armour cannot rust:
Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

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 the Christian's Trust.
