I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, Who once was dead;
And reigns, my everlasting Head.

He lives triumphant from the grave,
He lives eternally to save,
He lives all-glorious in the sky,
He lives exalted there on high.

He lives to silence all my fears,
to wipe away my falling tears,
to soothe and calm my troubled heart,
all needed blessings to impart.

He lives and grants me daily breath;
Through Him my soul shall conquer death;
He's gone my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring me safely there.

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!"
