Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#266

266. I Know That My Redeemer Lives

1 I know that my Redeemer lives;
He lives who once was dead.
To me in grief He comfort gives;
with peace He crowns my head.

2 I know that my Redeemer lives,
and ever prays for me;
a token of His love He gives,
a pledge of liberty.

3 He lives, triumphant o'er the grave,
at God's right hand on high,
my ransomed soul to keep and save,
to bless and glorify.

4 He lives, that I may also live,
and now His grace proclaim;
He lives, that I may honor give
to His most holy name.

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

6 Let strains of heav'nly music rise,
while all their anthems sing
to Christ, our precious Sacrifice,
and everliving King.
