Lyics

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.



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 Saviour, still the same-

O the sweet joy this sentence gives:

I Know that my Redeemer lives!
