I know that my Redeemer lives

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 believe
Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord,
And to thyself receive.

Joyful in hope, my spirit soars
To meet thee from above;
Thy goodness thankfully adores,
And sure I taste thy love.

Thy love I soon expect to find,
In all its depth and height;
To comprehend th' Eternal Mind,
And grasp the Infinite.

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

The bliss of those that fully dwell,
Fully in thee believe,
'T is more than angel tongues can tell,
Or angel minds conceive.

Thou only know'st who didst obtain,
And die to make it known;
The great salvation now explain,
And perfect us in one.
