The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#923

923. I know that my Redeemer lives

1 I know that my Redeemer lives;
He lives, and on the earth shall stand;
And though to worms my flesh he gives,
My dust lies numbered in his hand.

2 In this re-animated clay
I surely shall behold him near,
Shall see him in the latter day
In all his majesty appear.

3 With mine and not another's eyes
The King in beauty I shall view;
I shall from him receive the prize,
The starry crown to victors due.
