Jesus Lives, and So Shall I

“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” | Philippians 1:21

Lyrics by Christian Gellert
Music by Andrew Henry

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 by His grace,

Vict’ry o’er my passions giving,

I will cleanse my heart and ways,

Ever to His glory living.

Me He raises from the dust:

Jesus is my Hope and Trust.

Jesus lives, I know full well

Naught from Him my heart can sever,

Life nor death nor powers of hell,

Joy nor grief, henceforth forever.

None of all His saints is lost:

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.
