"For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives,
and at last He, the Last One, will stand upon the earth."
Job 19:25
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.
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 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 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 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, 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 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, all glory to His name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
I know that my Redeemer lives!
Just A Closer Walk With Thee
