First Line: Jesus lives, and Jesus leads,

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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 Jesus lives, and every grace
Comes because He giveth;
Life and love in every place
Live, for Jesus liveth:
All our thoughts His love exceeds;
Jesus lives, and Jesus leads.

5Yes, 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.
