| 1. 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 for evermore,
Behold I am alive for evermore.
I am He that liveth,
that liveth, and was dead;
And behold I am alive for evermore.”
2. 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.
“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 for evermore,
Behold I am alive for evermore.
I am He that liveth,
that liveth, and was dead;
And behold I am alive for evermore.”
3. He comes! He comes!
Oh, blest anticipation!
In keeping with
His true and faithful word;
To call us to
our heavenly consummation—
Caught up, to be
“for ever with the Lord.”
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 for evermore,
Behold I am alive for evermore.
I am He that liveth,
that liveth, and was dead;
And behold I am alive for evermore.”
