Alive for Evermore

OHT Incipit:  

He dies! He dies! The lowly man of sorrows,
On whom were laid our many griefs and woes;
Our sins He bore, beneath God's awful billows,
And He hath triumphed over all our foes.

"I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
And behold, I am alive for evermore;
Behold, I am alive for evermore,
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
And behold, I am alive for evermore."

He lives! He lives! What glorious consolation!
Exalted at His Father's own right hand;
He pleads for us, and by His intercession,
Enables all His saints by grace to stand.

"I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
And behold, I am alive for evermore;
Behold, I am alive for evermore,
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
And behold, I am alive for evermore."

He comes! He comes! O blest anticipation!
In keeping with His true and faithful word;
To call us to our heavenly consummation
Caught up, to be for ever with the Lord.

"I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
And behold, I am alive for evermore;
Behold, I am alive for evermore,
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead;
And behold, I am alive for evermore."
