I Know That My Redeemer Lives (Medley)

lyricist: Samuel Medley, 1775
Composer: John Hatton, 1793

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!
