I know that my Redeemer lives

C. M.

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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