Classic Poem

He lives! He lives! He lives to bless
Each heart that welcomes Him!
He lives as truly now as when
In shadows cool and dim
He walked along the garden path
All wet with morning dew,
Where sleepy birds were wakening
And fragrant lilies grew.

He lives! He lives! He lives today
As truly as of yore,
When angels rolled away the stone
And opened wide the door.
He lives! He lives! O earth rejoice!
For Jesus lives today,
And, oh, His blessed presence can
Each doubt and fear allay.

He lives! He lives! Oh, can we doubt
That living presence when
The life He promised He would give
Dwells in the hearts of men?
Then, O rejoice! The Saviour lives!
Rejoice and own Him King!
Then all of heaven's blessedness
Into your heart He'll bring!
