I know that my Redeemer lives;

O the sweet joy this sentence gives;

He lives, He lives, who once was dead;

He lives, my everlasting Head.

He lives to bless me with His love,

And still He pleads for me above;

He lives to raise me from the grave,

And me eternally to save.

He lives, my kind, wise, constant Friend

Who still will keep me to the end;

He lives, and while He lives I'll sing,

Jesus, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

He lives, my mansion to prepare,

And He will bring me safely there;

He lives, all glory to His Name,

Jesus, unchangeably the same.

In Thee, O Lord I trust;

My hope is in Thy Name;

In righteousness deliver me,

Nor put my soul to shame.

From Heaven bow down Thine ear,

My cause in mercy plead;

My Rock, my Fortress, my Defence,

Vouchsafe my soul to lead.

From ev'ry snare preserve,

From ev'ry foe defend;
