464. I Am Content! My Jesus Lives Again

1 I am content! My Jesus lives again,
in whom my heart is pleased.
He has fulfilled the law of God for me,
God's wrath he has appeased.
Since he in death could perish never,
I also shall not die forever.
I am content! I am content!

2 I am content! My Jesus is my head;
his member I will be.
He bowed his head when on the cross he died
with cries of agony.
Now death is brought into subjection
for me by Jesus' resurrection.
I am content! I am content!

3 I am content! My Jesus is my light,
my radiant sun of grace.
His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all:
sweet comfort, hope, and peace.
This Easter sun has brought salvation
and everlasting exultation.
I am content! I am content!

4 I am content! Lord, set me ever free,
and wake me from the dead
that I may rise forevermore to be
with you, my living head.
The chains that hold my body, sever;
then shall my soul rejoice forever.
I am content! I am content!
