I Know that My Redeemer
Lives
By:
Samuel Medley (1738-1799)
I know that my Redeemer
lives!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever living head!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever living head!
He lives triumphant from
the grave;
He lives eternally to save;
He lives exalted, throned above;
He lives to rule his Church in love.
He lives eternally to save;
He lives exalted, throned above;
He lives to rule his Church in love.
He lives to grant me
rich supply;
He lives to guide me with his eye;
He lives to comfort me when faint;
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to guide me with his eye;
He lives to comfort me when faint;
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all
my fears;
He lives to wipe away my tears;
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
He lives all blessings to impart.
He lives to wipe away my tears;
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
He lives all blessings to impart.
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.
He lives to plead for me above;
He lives my hungry soul to feed;
He lives to help in time of need.
He lives, my kind, wise,
heavenly friend;
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King!
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King!
He lives and grants me
daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death;
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring me safely there.
He lives, and I shall conquer death;
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring me safely there.
He 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!
He lives, my savior, still the same;
What joy this blest assurance gives:
I know that my Redeemer lives!
Today is Palm Sunday,
the start of Holy Week!
May this remembrance
and this obscure old Lutheran Easter hymn
He lives! Praise God!!

DeleteThis hymn was a blessing. I don't know that I ever heard of it before. I know a lot of hymns and love them.
