I KNOW that my Redeemer lives: What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, Who once was dead; He lives, my everlasting Head.
He lives, triumphant from the grave; He lives, eternally to save; He lives, all glorious in the sky; He lives, exalted there on high.
He lives to bless me with His love, And still He pleads for me above; He lives to raise me from the grave, And me eternally to save.
He lives, my kind, wise, constant Friend; Who still will keep me to the end; He lives, and while He lives I’ll sing, Jesus, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives my mansion to prepare; And He will bring me safely there; He lives, all glory to His name! Jesus, unchangeably the same!
Samuel Medley, 1738-99
