I am He that Liveth

I am He that Liveth

I am He that Liveth -Russell Hurditch 

He dies! He dies! The lowly man of sorrows,
Oh whom were laid our many griefs and woes;
Our sins He bore, beneath God’s awful billows,
And He hath triumph’d 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 ever more,
Behold I am alive for ever more.
I am He that liveth, that liveth, and was dead;
And behold I am alive for ever more.

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.

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 “forever with the Lord”.
