Laudes Domini ‎#382

382. A Living Christ

1 Now I know the great Redeemer,
Know he lives and spreads his fame;
Lives--and all the heavens adore him;
Lives--and earth resounds his name.

2 My Redeemer lives within me,
Lives--and heavenly life conveys;
Lives--and glory now surrounds me;
Lives--and I his name shall praise.

3 Pardon, peace, and full salvation
From my living Saviour flow;
Light, and life, and consolation,--
All the good I e'er can know.

4 Soon shall I behold my Saviour;
He who lives and reigns above,
Lives--and I shall live for ever,
Live and sing redeeming love!
