I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I know that my Redeemer lives
And ever prays for me;
I know eternal life He gives,
From sin and sorrow free.

He wills that I should holy be,
In word, in thought, in deed;
Then I His holy face may see
When from this earth-life freed.

I know that unto sinful men
His saving grace is nigh;
I know that He will come again
To take me home on high.

I know that over yonder stands
A place prepared for me,
A home, a house not made with hands,
Most wonderful to see.

I know, I know that my Redeemer lives;
I know, I know eternal life he gives;
I know, I know that my Redeemer lives.

– Fred A. Fillmore (1917)
