I know that my Redeemer lives,And ever prays for me;A token of his love he gives,A pledge of liberty.

Jesus, I hang upon thy word;I steadfastly believeThou wilt return, and claim me, Lord,And to thyself receive.

Joyful in hope, my spirit soarsTo meet thee from above;Thy goodness thankfully adores,And tastes thy precious love.

When God is mine and I am his,Of paradise possessed,I taste unutterable bliss,And everlasting rest.
