I know that My Redeemer lives

I know that my Redeemer lives;

My God, my Savior, comes.

Faith will triumph o'er the grave,

And empty all the tombs

I know that my Redeemer lives

Though I go down to dust

My God will build my bones again

In Him I place my trust

The mighty Conqueror shall appear

High on a royal seat,

And death, the last of all his foes,

Lies vanquished at his feet.

Then shall I see Christ’s lovely face

With strong immortal eyes;

And feast upon His unknown grace

With pleasure and surprise.

I know that my Redeemer lives

Though I go down to dust

My God will build my bones again

In Him I place my trust

Job 19:25-27.

After Isaac Watts
