LyicsI 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.
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, 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, all glory to his name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same!
Oh the sweet joy this sentence gives
I know that my Redeemer lives!
