34. I Know That My Redeemer Lives

1 I know that my Redeemer lives!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives who once was dead;
he lives, my everlasting Head!

2 He lives to bless me with his love;
he lives to plead for me above;
he lives my hungry soul to feed;
he lives to help in time of need.

3 He lives to silence all my fears;
he lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
he lives, all blessings to impart.

4 He lives and grants me daily breath;
he lives and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare;
he lives to bring me safely there.

5 He lives, all glory to his name;
he lives, my Savior still the same;
what joy this blest assurance gives—
I know that my Redeemer lives!
