I Know That My Redeemer Lives
Charles Wesley (1742) • English
Primary Scripture: Job 12:25
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
When God is mine and I am His, Of paradise possessed, I taste unutterable bliss And everlasting rest.
