96. The Savior Lives, No More to Die
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.
“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)
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)
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)
