The Lord now lives

The Lord now lives; the world has turned

The Lord now lives; the world has turned:
Life that had ended now revives.
The Lord now lives, and we are turned
From sighs of grief to sing, 'He lives!';
From fearful nights, from angry days,
From clouded minds and wayward wills
To richer visions, finer ways,
To Christ who loves, whose Spirit fills.

As Jesus lives so we shall live,
Life bound for death now never dies.
As Jesus lives so we shall live
To tell the world this great surprise:
“No more has pain the final say;
No longer shall grief make the rules;
From now until eternity
Freedoms shall flash like precious jewels.”
