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!
2
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:
3
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:
4
He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to stop and wipe my tears,
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart:
5
He lives my kind, wise, heav’nly 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:
6
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:
7
He lives, all glory to his name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same:
O the sweet joy this sentence gives,
“I know that my Redeemer lives
”
