Jesus lives, and Jesus leads,
Though the way be dreary
Morn to darkest night succeeds:
Courage, then, ye weary,
Still the faithful Shepherd feeds;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
All the words He ever spoke,
Still to us He speaketh;
All the bread He ever broke,
Still for us He breaketh.
Still the faithful Shepherd feeds;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
Jesus lives, but Jesus died;
Love to death consigned Him;
Death the mighty Love resigned,
Could not hold or bind Him.
Therefore still He meets our needs
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
Jesus lives, and every grace
Comes because He giveth:
Life and love in every place
Lives, for Jesus liveth.
All our thoughts His love exceeds,
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
Yes, if Jesus lives, He leads;
He will not forsake us;
He will crown His gracious deeds,
And to glory take us.
Till that hour the Shepherd feeds;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.
