I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH
"I know that my Redeemer liveth." Job 19:25
Words: Jessie Brown Pounds, in the Easter cantata "Hope's Messenger,"
1893. It first appeared as a congregational hymn in The Praise Hymnal,
1896.
Music: "Hannah," James Henry Fillmore, Sr. (1849-1936).
I know that my Redeemer liveth,
And on the earth again shall stand;
I know eternal life He giveth,
That grace and power are in His hand.
Refrain
I know, I know, that Jesus liveth,
And on the earth again shall stand;
I know, I know, that life He giveth,
That grace and power are in His hand.
I know His promise never faileth,
The Word He speaks, it cannot die;
Though cruel death my flesh assaileth,
Yet I shall see Him by and by.
Refrain
I know my mansion He prepareth,
That where He is there I may be;
O wondrous thought, for me He careth,
And He at last will come for me.
