Lyrics

Spread the tid­ings all abroad,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives;
Glory, glo­ry be to God,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives.
In the cold grave, where He lay,
Come and see, come and see;
Angels sit in bright ar­ray,
Come and see, come and see.
Spread the tid­ings all abroad,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives;
Glory, glo­ry be to God,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives.

Let the na­tions now rejoice,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives;
Praise Him with a joy­ful voice,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives.
Heaven’s gates are op­ened wide,
Opened wide, op­ened wide;
We shall enter glo­ri­fied,
Glorified, glo­ri­fied.
Let the na­tions now re­joice,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives;
Praise Him with a joy­ful voice,
Jesus lives, Je­sus lives.
