1. 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 bless in time of need.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. He lives, all glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same;
O sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives.”
He lives, all glory to his name!
He lives, my Saviour, still the same;
O sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
