I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I know that my redeemer lives!
And with his life my sin forgives
O Jesus, lord, I’ll hope and pray
And patient be—though come what may

When troubles come with grief and tears
And hope is lost in all my fears
On God who gives and takes away
My sins, and doubts, and sorrows lay

His ways are wondrous, high above
So full of righteousness and love
So glorious is my God of grace
My longing heart leaps from its place

Redeeming mercy gives me light
And songs of joy within the night
Since Jesus all my troubles bore
I am God’s friend forevermore!

O great redeemer, glorious sight!
Your will and ways are always right
My heart within me yearns to see
Your glory, light, and majesty!
