Lyrics

I know that my Re­deem­er liv­eth,
And on the earth again shall stand;
I know eter­nal life He giv­eth,
That grace and pow­er are in His hand.

Refrain

I know, I know, that Je­sus liveth,
And on the earth again shall stand;
I know, I know, that life He giv­eth,
That grace and pow­er are in His hand.

I know His pro­mise ne­ver fail­eth,
The Word He speaks, it can­not die;
Though cru­el death my flesh as­sail­eth,
Yet I shall see Him by and by.

Refrain

I know my man­sion He pre­par­eth,
That where He is there I may be;
O won­drous thought, for me He car­eth,
And He at last will come for me.
