1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;
A token of His love He gives,
A pledge of liberty.
And ever prays for me;
A token of His love He gives,
A pledge of liberty.
2 I find Him lifting up my head;
He brings salvation near;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear.

His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear.
3 He wills that I should holy be:
What can withstand His will?
The counsel of His grace in me
He surely shall fulfill.

He surely shall fulfill.
4 Jesus, I hang upon Thy word:
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord,
And to Thyself receive.

Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord,
