Author: S. Medley (1728-1799) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #169 (1987) Lyrics: 1 I know that my redeemer lives —
what comfort this assurance gives!
he lives, he lives, who once was dead,
he lives, my everlasting Head.
2 He lives, triumphant from the grave,
he lives eternally to save;
he lives, to bless me with his love,
and intercedes for me above.
3 He lives to help in time of need,
he lives, my hungry soul to feed;
he lives, and grants me daily breath,
he lives, and I shall conquer death.
4 He lives, my kind, wise, constant friend,
who still will guard me to the end;
he lives, and while he lives I'll sing,
Jesus, my prophet, priest and king.
5 He lives, my saviour, to prepare
a place in heaven, and lead me there;
he lives, all glory to his name,
Jesus, unchangeably the same.
