I know that my Redeemer lives And ever prays for me A token of His love He gives A pledge of liberty
I find him lifting up my head He brings salvation near His presence makes me free indeed And He will soon appear
He wills that I should holy be What can withstand His will? The counsel of His grace in me He surely shall fulfill
Jesus, I hang upon Thy Word I steadfastly believe Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord And to Thyself receive
Alternate verses: Joyful in hope, my spirit soars To meet Thee from above Thy goodness thankfully adores And sure I taste Thy love
Thy love I soon expect to find In all its depth and height To comprehend the eternal mind And grasp the Infinite

When God is Mine and I am His Of paradise possessed I taste unutterable bliss And everlasting rest
The bliss of those that fully dwell Fully in Thee believe ’Tis more than angel tongues can tell Or angel minds conceive
Thou only knowst, Who didst obtain And die to make it known The great salvation now explain And perfect us in one!
