124. I Know That My Redeemer Lives

1 I know that my Redeemer lives!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead,
He lives, my everlasting 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 help in time of need.

3 He lives, and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death;
He live, my mansion to prepare;
He lives, to bring me safely there.

4 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!

Amen.
