I know that my Redeemer lives
And ever prays for me
A token of His love He gives
A pledge of liberty
I find him lifting up my head
He brings salvation near
His presence makes me free indeed
And He will soon appear
He wills that I should holy be
What can withstand His will?
The counsel of His grace in me
He surely shall fulfill
Jesus, I hang upon Thy Word
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord
And to Thyself receive
Alternate verses:
Joyful in hope, my spirit soars
To meet Thee from above
Thy goodness thankfully adores
And sure I taste Thy love
Thy love I soon expect to find
In all its depth and height
To comprehend the eternal mind
And grasp the Infinite
| |
When God is Mine and I am His
Of paradise possessed
I taste unutterable bliss
And everlasting rest
The bliss of those that fully dwell
Fully in Thee believe
’Tis more than angel tongues can tell
Or angel minds conceive
Thou only knowst, Who didst obtain
And die to make it known
The great salvation now explain
And perfect us in one!
