By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M.
      1 I KNOW that my Redeemer lives,
      And ever prays for me;
      A token of his love he gives,
      A pledge of liberty.

      2 I find him lifting up my head,
      He brings salvation near,
      His presence makes me free indeed,
      And he will soon appear.

      3 He wills that I should holy be,
      What can withstand his will?
      The counsel of his grace in me
      He surely shall fulfil.

      4 Jesus, I hang upon thy word;
      I steadfastly believe
      Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord
      And to thyself receive,

      5 Joyful in hope, my spirit soars
      To meet thee from above,
      Thy goodness thankfully adores;
      And sure I taste thy love.

      6 Thy love I soon expect to find,
      In all its depth and height;
      To comprehend the Eternal Mind,
      And grasp the Infinite.

      7 When God is mine and I am his,
      Of paradise possest,
      I taste unutterable bliss,
      And everlasting rest.

      8 The bliss of those that fully dwell,
      Fully in thee believe,
      'Tis more than angel-tongues can tell,
      Or angel-minds conceive.

      9 Thou only know'st, who didst obtain,
      And die to make it known;
      The great salvation now explain,
      And perfect us in one!
