He dies! He dies! 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.

Refrain

He comes! He comes! O 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.
