628. I Know That My Redeemer Lives

1 I know that my Redeemer lives!
What joy this blest assurance gives!
Christ lives, he lives, who once was dead,
He lives, my ever-living head!

2 Christ lives triumphant from the grave;
He lives eternally to save;
Christ lives in majesty above;
He lives to guide the Church in love.

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

4 Christ lives to bless me with great love;
He lives to plead for me above;
Christ lives my hungry soul to feed;
He lives to help in time of need.

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

6 Christ 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!
