I Know That My Redeemer Lives

H. A. Merrill • English

Primary Scripture: Job 19:25-26

Verse 1

I know that my Redeemer lives, That he's prepared a home for me, And crowns of victory he gives To those who would his children be.

Chorus

Then ask me not to mingle on Amid the gay and thoughtless throng, For I am only waiting here, To hear the summons, “Child, come home;” For I am only waiting here To hear the summons, “Child, come home.”

Verse 2

I’m trusting Jesus Christ for all, I know his blood atones for me, I’m list'ning for the gentle call, To say, “The Master waiteth thee.”

Chorus

Then ask me not to mingle on Amid the gay and thoughtless throng, For I am only waiting here, To hear the summons, “Child, come home;” For I am only waiting here To hear the summons, “Child, come home.”

Verse 3

And now, bewildered at the thought, I stand and wonder at his love, How he from heav’n to earth was brought To die, that I might live above.

Chorus

Then ask me not to mingle on Amid the gay and thoughtless throng, For I am only waiting here, To hear the summons, “Child, come home;” For I am only waiting here To hear the summons, “Child, come home.”

Verse 4

I know that soon my Lord will come, I know he will not tarry long, I know he soon will call me home To sing with joy the heav'nly song.

Chorus

Then ask me not to mingle on Amid the gay and thoughtless throng, For I am only waiting here, To hear the summons, “Child, come home;” For I am only waiting here To hear the summons, “Child, come home.”
