1 I know that my Redeemer lives--
what joy the blest assurance 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, and grants me daily breath;
he lives, and I shall conquer death;
he lives, my mansion to prepare;
he lives, to lead me safely there.

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