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.
Refrain:
"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 heav'nly consummation,
Caught up, to be "forever with the Lord."
