Death cannot hold the resurrection life, The life of God eternal manifest; 'Tis uncreated, indestructible, 'Tis Christ Himself, unconqu'rable, expressed. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Oh, may I know this resurrection life, In every kind of death it pow'r outpoured, In my experience ever realize This life is nought but Christ my living Lord. |
