Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #174 (1890) First Line: He lives! the great Redeemer lives! Lyrics: 1 He lives! the great Redeemer lives!
What joy the blest assurance gives!
And now, before his Father, God,
Pleads the full merits of his blood.
2 Repeated crimes awake our fears,
And justice armed with frowns appears;
But in the Saviour's lovely face
Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace.
3 In every dark, distressful hour,
When sin and Satan join their power,
Let this dear hope repel the dart,
That Jesus bears us on his heart.
4 Great Advocate, almighty Friend!
On him our humble hopes depend,
Our cause can never, never fail,
For Jesus pleads, and must prevail. Topics: Resurrection and Reign; Christ Advocate; Christ Mediator; Christ Resurrection of; Christ Advocate; Christ Mediator; Christ Resurrection of Languages: English Tune Title: ROTHWELL
