 The Lord liveth, alleluia!
Everlasting life is thine,
 Thine the glorious life He liveth,
 Thine the light He only giveth;
In His own exceeding brightness, oh, arise and shine!
 The Lord liveth, alleluia!
Everlasting life is thine.

 The Lord liveth, alleluia!
Angels rolled the stone away,
 Praises winged from harps and timbrels
 Hover o'er earth's living symbols,
Lilies wake from dark earth's keeping; bright wings burst your bands to-day
 The Lord liveth, alleluia!
Angels rolled the stone away.

[ 23 ]
