Text:I know that my Redeemer lives

256. I know that my Redeemer lives

1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
And living, cares for me;
I know eternal life He gives,
And gave on Calvary.

Refrain:
O 'twas wonderful, wonderful love,
That brought Him from heaven above,
As a ransom to die on the tree,
To save a poor sinner like me.

2 I know the promise cannot fail--
The hour is drawing nigh;
Tho' cruel death my flesh assail,
My soul shall never die. [Refrain]

3 I know my mansion He prepares,
Beside the crystal sea,
That where He lives and loves and cares,
There I may ever be. [Refrain]
