The Savior Lives and Reigns


          Behold the Savior from on high,
          Descended here to live and die;
          He suffered on the cross alone,
          And shed His blood sin to atone.
          The sins which Jesus bore that day,
          His precious blood has washed away;
          His death has satisfaction made,
          Redemption’s price He fully paid.

          "‘Tis finished," God our Savior cried,
          Then Jesus bowed His head and died;
          The temple’s veil in twain He rent,
          Then to the tomb His body went.
          Within the sepulchre He lay,
          Until the resurrection day;
          Then Jesus came forth from the tomb,
          And scattered all our fear and gloom.

          Christ Jesus who for us once died,
          Now lives and we are justified;
          The universe is His domain,
          And evermore our Lord shall reign.
          Though to the grave we too shall go,
          We have no fear for this we know;
          Since Jesus lives no more to die,
          We too shall live with Him on high.
