Jesus lives! thy terrors now
|
Jesus lives! thy terrors now can no longer, death, appall us; Jesus lives! by this we know thou, O grave, canst not enthrall us. Jesus lives! henceforth is death but the gate of life immortal; this shall calm our trembling breath when we pass its gloomy portal. Jesus lives! for us he died; then, alone to Jesus living, pure in heart may we abide, glory to our Saviour giving. Jesus lives! our hearts know well nought from us his love shall sever; life, nor death, nor powers of hell tear us from his keeping ever. Jesus lives! to him the throne over all the world is given: may we go where he has gone, rest and reign with him in heaven. |
Vivit Iesus! fugito letum; neque enim timemus. Vivit! sine dubio non barathro serviemus. Vivit! mors ab hoc die vitae porta erit mansurae, nec tremescent animae quamvis atram transiturae. Vivit, nobis mortuus; ei soli nos vivamus; puris usque cordibus Salvatorem extollamus. Vivit! hoc cognovimus: nil amorem dissipabit; vita, mors, diabolus non tutela separabit Vivit ille! Domino terris omnibus tributis, supra pax et ditio nobis sit eum secutis. |
