African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#166

166. I Know that My Redeemer Lives

1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;
A token of His love He gives,
A pledge of liberty.

2 I find Him lifting up my head;
He brings salvation near;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear.

3 He wills that I should holy be,
What can withstand His will?
The counsel of His grace in me
He surely shall fulfill.

4 Jesus, I hang upon Thy word;
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord,
And to Thyself receive.

5 When God is mine and I am His,
Of paradise possessed,
I taste unutterable bliss
And everlasting rest.
