I am content, my Jesus liveth still

Verse 1

I am content! My Jesus lives again, in whom my heart is pleased. He has fulfilled the law of God for me, God's wrath he has appeased. Since he in death could perish never, I also shall not die forever. I am content! I am content!

Verse 2

I am content! My Jesus is my head; his member I will be. He bowed his head when on the cross he died with cries of agony. Now death is brought into subjection for me by Jesus' resurrection. I am content! I am content!

Verse 3

I am content! My Jesus is my light, my radiant sun of grace. His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all: sweet comfort, hope, and peace. This Easter sun has brought salvation and everlasting exultation. I am content! I am content!

Verse 4

I am content! Lord, set me ever free, and wake me from the dead that I may rise forevermore to be with you, my living head. The chains that hold my body, sever; then shall my soul rejoice forever. I am content! I am content!
