Hymn
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
- Writer
- Charles Wesley
- Tune
- DUKE STREET
I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;
A token of his love He gives,
A pledge of liberty.
I find Him lifting up my head;
He brings salvation near;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear.
He wills that I should holy be;
Who can withstand His will?
The counsel of His grace in me
He surely shall fulfill.
Jesus, I hang upon Thy word;
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord,
And to Thyself receive.
