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...THE EAGLE'S SONG by RICHARD MANSFIELD CHRISTMAS CAROL by SARA TEASDALE FATA MORGANA by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS THE DASHING WHITE SERGEANT by JOHN BURGOYNE BENEDICTION IN PASSING by IRENE CARLISLE A COMPLAINT TO HIS LADY by GEOFFREY CHAUCER SONNET, TO THE AUTHOR OFR 'THE REVOLT OF ISLAM' by JOHN CHALK CLARIS |
