I know that my Redeemer lives
1I know that my Redeemer lives; He lives, and on the earth shall stand; All power to him the Father gives, My dust has numbered in his hand.
2In his most holy flesh shall I, I surely shall behold him near; Shall see him in the latest day, In all his majesty appear.
3With mine and not another's eyes, The King in beauty I shall view; I shall from him receive the prize, The starry crown to victors due.
