L.M.
by S. Medley

The Savior lives, no more to die;
 
He lives, our Head, enthroned on high;
 
He lives triumphant o’er the grave;
 
He lives eternally to save.
“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places. Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church. Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” (Ephesians 1:20-23)
“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” (Matthew 28:6)
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55)
“And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.” (Hebrews 5:9)
2
The chief of sinners He receives;
 
His saints He loves and never leaves;
 
He’ll guard us safe from every ill,
 
And all His promises fulfill.
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” (1 Timothy 1:15)
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5)
“Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.” (1 Samuel 22:23)
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)
3
Abundant grace will He afford,
 
Till we are present with the Lord;
 
And prove what we have sung before,
 
That Jesus lives forevermore.
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:8)
“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:18)

Then let our souls in Him rejoice,
 
And sing His praise with cheerful voice:
 
Our doubts and fears forever gone,
 
For Christ is on the Father’s throne.
“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.” (Philippians 4:4)
“So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” (Hebrews 13:6)
“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.” (Hebrews 8:1)
