7. He Lives

1 On Calvary my Saviour died
Where for my sins He bled;
He rose, and I am justified;
He lives, Who once was dead.

Refrain:
He rose a victor o’er the grave;
He lives exalted now to save;
He lives to plead my cause on high;
He lives to guide me with His eye;
He lives to bring me to the sky
And I shall see Him bye and bye.

2 Death captive help Him but an hour,
My ever-living head!
He rose in glory and in pow’r;
He lives, Who once was dead. [Refrain]

3 He bore within the Holy place,
The precious drops He shed;
And sprinkled there the Throne of Grace
He lives, Who once was dead. [Refrain]

4 Now far above the highest heav’n,
He’s seated in my stead;
And grace for all my need is giv’n;
He lives, Who once was dead. [Refrain]

5 And soon with all His saints He’ll bring
The glory as He said;
Loud shall the hallelujahs ring—
He lives, Who once was dead. [Refrain]
