I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives
He lives
who once was dead;
He lives
my ever living head.
He lives to bless me with His love
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed
He lives to help in time of need.
He lives triumphant from the grave
He lives eternally to save
He lives all glorious in the sky
He lives exalted there on high.
He lives to grant me rich supply
He lives to guide me with His eye
He lives to comfort me when faint
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart
He lives all blessings to impart.
He lives
my kind
wise
heavenly friend
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives
and while He lives
I’ll sing;
He lives
my prophet
priest
and king.
He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives
and I shall conquer death:
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring me safely there.
He lives
all glory to His name!
He lives
my Jesus
still the same.
Oh
the sweet joy this sentence gives
I know that my Redeemer lives!
