158. I Am Content! My Jesus Lives Again

1 I am content! My Jesus lives again,
In whom my heart is pleased.
He has fulfilled the law of God for me;
God's wrath he has appeased.
Since he in death could perish never,
I also shall not die forever.
I am content! I am content!

2 I am content! My Jesus is my head;
His member I will be.
He bowed his head when on the cross
he died With cries of agony.
Now death is brought into subjection
For me, too, by his resurrection.
I am content! I am content!

3 I am content! My Jesus is my Light,
My radiant sun of grace.
His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all:
Sweet comfort, hope, and peace.
This Easter sun has brought salvation
And everlasting exultation.
I am content! I am content!

4 I am content! Lord, set me ever free
And wake me from the dead
That I may rise forevermore to be
With you, my living head.
The chains that hold my body, sever;
Then shall my soul rejoice forever.
I am content! I am content!
