Music by James H. Burke, words by C. Russell Hurditch
He died! He died! The lowly Man of Sorrows,
On whom were laid our many griefs and woes;
Our sins He bore, beneath God's awful billows,
And He hath triumphed over all our foes.
"I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead,
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
And behold, I am alive forevermore,
Behold, I am alive forevermore;
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead,
And behold, I am alive forevermore."
He lives! He lives! What glorious consolation!
Exalted at His Father's own right hand;
He pleads for us, and by His intercession,
Enables all His saints by grace to stand.
He comes! He comes! Oh, blest anticipation!
In keeping with His true and faithful word;
To call us to our heavenly consummation--
Caught up, to be forever with the Lord.
