Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#226

226. I am content! My Jesus liveth still

1 I am content! My Jesus liveth still,
In whom my heart is pleased;
He hath fulfilled the law of God for me,
God's wrath He hath appeased;
Since Him from life death could not sever,
I also shall not die forever.
I am content!

2 I am content! My Jesus is my Head,
His member I will be;
He bowed His head, when on the cross He died,
With cries of agony;
Now death is brought into subjection
For me, too, by His resurrection.
I am content!

3 I am content! My Jesus is my Lord,
My Price of life and peace;
His loving heart is thirsting after man's
Welfare and future bliss.
Where He, my Lord and Master, liveth,
His servant also He receiveth.
I am content!

4 I am content! My Jesus is my Light,
My radiant Sun of grace.
His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all;
Sweet comfort, hope, and peace.
This Easter-sun brings life, salvation,
And everlasting exultation.
I am content!

5 I am content! Lord, draw me but to Thee,
That from the dead I rise
With Thee, my Head, and enter cheerfully
Into thy heavenly joys.
The fetters of my body sever,
Then shall my soul rejoice forever.
I am content!
