Hymn: "Mighty Army of the Young" by John R. Colgan

03.18 MightyArmyOfTheYoung

Mighty army of the young,
Lift the voice
in joyful tune; Send the welcome word along: Jesus lives! When He craved
you and me, Bore our sins upon the tree; Now He

lives to

make us totally free. Jesus lives! Chorus: Wait not till the shadows extend, till you older grow;
Rally now and sing for Jesus ev’ry where you go.
Raise your cheerful voices high,
Ringing clear thro’ earth and sky;
Let the blessed tidings fly:
Jesus lives!

Tongues of kids light and totally free,
Tongues of youth all filled with glee,
Sing to all on land and sea:
Jesus lives!
Light for you and all humanity,
Sight for all by sin made blind,
Life in Jesus all might discover.
Jesus lives!

[Chorus]

Jesus lives– O blessed words!
King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Raise the cross and sheathe the swords.
Jesus lives!
See, He breaks the jail wall,
Throws aside the terrible pall,
Conquers death simultaneously for all.
Jesus lives!

[Chorus]
