I Know That My Redeemer Lives (Wesley)

 

VERSE 1

I know that my Redeemer lives,

And ever prays for me;

A token of His love He gives,

A pledge of liberty.

 

VERSE 2

I find him lifting up my head,

He brings salvation near,

His presence makes me free indeed,

And He will soon appear.

 

VERSE 3

He wills that I should holy be,

What can withstand His will?

The counsel of His grace in me

He surely shall fulfill.

 

VERSE 4

Jesus, I hang upon Thy Word;

I steadfastly believe

Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord

And to Thyself receive,

 

VERSE 5

Joyful in hope, my spirit soars

To meet Thee from above,

Thy goodness thankfully adores;

And sure I taste Thy love.

 

VERSE 6

Thy love I soon expect to find,

In all its depth and height;

To comprehend the eternal mind,

And grasp the Infinite.

 

VERSE 7

When God is Mine and I am His,

Of paradise possessed,

I taste unutterable bliss,

And everlasting rest.

 

VERSE 8

The bliss of those that fully dwell,

Fully in Thee believe,

’Tis more than angel tongues can tell,

Or angel minds conceive.

 

VERSE 9

Thou only knowst, who didst obtain,

And die to make it known;

The great salvation now explain,

And perfect us in one!
