Text: | I Know that He Liveth |
Author: | Mrs. R. N. Turner |
Tune: | [How blest was the life once lived upon earth] |
Composer: | Wm. J. Kirkpatrick |
1 How blest was the life once lived upon earth,
The life of the Saviour of men;
What joy was their part who learn’d at his feet,
Who loved and who worshipped him then.
Refrain:
I know that he liveth, Redeemer and Friend,
To bless and to comfort our way;
I know the glad song of the heavenly throng,—
He liveth, he liveth today!
2 The Friend of our need, the hope of the world,
Abides with us still as of old;
When wandering far in sorrow and sin
He leadeth us home to the fold. [Refrain]
3 O Lord of the sea, who once walked abroad
On treacherous waves of the tide,
We know that thy strong and pitying arms
Our wavering footsteps still guide. [Refrain]
4 Thou art not afar,—in regions unknown,—
Our faith reacheth up unto thee;
And still, thro’ the mists of ages long past,
The Saviour of sinners doth see. [Refrain]
