AN EASTER HYMN

Jesus Lives! The Victory's Won, Lutheran Worship #139, Sts. 1, 5

"Jesus lives! The vict'ry's won! Death no longer can appall me; Jesus lives! Death's reign is done! From the grave will Christ recall me. Brighter scenes will then commence; This shall be my confidence.

"Jesus lives! And now is death But the gate of life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath When I pass its gloomy portal. Faith shall cry, as fails each sense:  Jesus is my confidence!"
