Classic Poem

Jesus lives! thy terrors now
Can no longer, death, appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
Thou, O grave, canst not enthrall us.
Hallelujah!

Jesus lives! henceforth is death
But the gate to life immortal;
This shall calm our trembling breath
When we pass its gloomy portal.
Hallelujah!

Jesus lives! thy terrors now
—Can no longer, death, appall us;
Jesus lives! by this we know
—Thou, O grave, canst not enthrall us.
Hallelujah!

Jesus lives! henceforth is death
—But the gate to life immortal;
This shall calm our trembling breath
—When we pass its gloomy portal.
