Jesus lives! no longer now Can thy terrors, Death, appall me; Jesus lives! and well I know, From the dead He will recall me; Better life will then commence-- This shall be my confidence. Jesus lives! to Him the throne Over all the world is given; I shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven: God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence! Jesus lives! henceforth is death Entrance into life immortal; Calmly I can yield my breath, Fearless tread the frowning portal; Lord, when faileth flesh and sense, Thou wilt be my confidence! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 25 by THOMAS CAMPION SONNET by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS SEVEN TIMES FOUR [ - MATERNITY] by JEAN INGELOW MY LITTLE DREAMS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON QUATRAIN: THE IRON AGE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH MARCH: A BULL ON THE HORIZON by A.
