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!

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 bless in time of need.

3 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.

4 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!

5 He lives, and grants me daily breath;

He lives, and I shall conquer death;

He lives my mansion to prepare,

He lives to bring me safely there.

6 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!
