I Know That My Redeemer Lives

1

I know that my Redeemer lives

And ever prays for me:

I know eternal life He gives

From sin and sorrow free

2

He wills that I should holy be

In word, in thought, in deed

Then I His holy face may see

When from this earth-life freed

3

I know that unto sinful men

His saving grace is nigh

I know that He will come again

To take me home on high

4

I know that over yonder stands

A place prepared for me

A home, a house not made with hands

Most wonderful to see

CHORUS

I know, I know that my Redeemer lives

I know, I know eternal life He gives

I know (that my), I know (Redeemer lives)

That my Redeemer lives

(The lyrics above were apparently altered from Wesley's original text by Fred A. Fillmore. See the original lyrics below.)

1 

I know that my Redeemer lives,

And ever prays for me;

A token of His love He gives,

A pledge of liberty.

2 

I find Him lifting up my head;

He brings salvation near;

His presence makes me free indeed,

And He will soon appear.

3 

He wills that I should holy be,

What can withstand His will?

The counsel of His grace in me

He surely shall fulfill.

4 

Jesus, I hang upon Thy word;

I steadfastly believe

Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord,

And to Thyself receive.

5 

When God is mine and I am His,

Of paradise possessed,

I taste unutterable bliss

And everlasting rest.
