| 1 | Death cannot hold the resurrection life, |
| | The life of God eternal manifest; |
| | ’Tis uncreated, indestructible, |
| | ’Tis Christ Himself, unconqu’rable, expressed |
| 2 | Death cannot hold the resurrection life, |
| | Though all its force against it may combine; |
| | Death only gives it opportunity |
| | To show the boundless pow’r of life divine. |
| 3 | Death cannot hold the resurrection life, |
| | The more interred, the more it multiplies; |
| | All kinds of suff’ring only help it grow |
| | And fruits of life abundant realize. |
| 4 | Death cannot hold the resurrection life, |
| | Thru every block and barrier it breaks; |
| | Conqu’ring the pow’r of darkness and of hell, |
| | It swallows death and victory partakes. |
| 5 | Death cannot hold the resurrection life, |
| | All of God’s fulness it will manifest; |
| | God’s righteousness and holiness it yields, |
| | His glorious image by it is expressed. |
| 6 | Oh, may I know this resurrection life, |
| | In every kind of death its pow’r outpoured, |
| | In my experience ever realize |
| | This life is nought but Christ my living Lord. |
