1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;

Chorus:
I know, I know that my Redeemer lives,

I know, I know that my Redeemer lives.
2 He wills that I should holy be
A word, in tho't, in deed;
Then I His holy face may see,
When from this earth-life freed. [Chorus]
3 I know that unto sinful men
His saving grace is nigh;
I know that He will come again
To take me home on high. [Chorus]
4 I know that over yonder stands
A place prepared for me;
A home, a house not made with hands,
Most wonderful to see. [Chorus]
