Jubilate ‎#210

210. He Lives

1 He lives, O message softly breathed,
Where bend the branches ‘mid the gloom;
Where bright the stainless lilies wreathed,
Shed fragrance o’er the garden tomb.

Refrain:
O seek Him not among the dead,
Have ye forgot the word He said?
O mourn no more a Master slain,
For lo, the world’s Redeemer evermore shall reign!

2 He lives, the breeze of morning sings,
O’er Calv’ry’s hill where sunlight falls;
All joy the dawn of morning brings,
And grief no more the heart enthralls. [Refrain]

3 He lives, for white robed angels wait,
In gleaming splendor of the sky;
Unbarred is morning’s golden gate,
Then sing, ye saddened ones who sigh. [Refrain]
