SATB choir, Piano, mezzo-soprano solo
Words Samuel Medley, Music Lewis D. Edwards,
Arranged by M Ryan Taylor

     A favorite hymn of testimony and devotion, perfect for any meeting centering it’s focus on the Savior. This arrangement begins with an ethereal accompaniment and mezzo-soprano solo and builds slowly to an exciting climax. The piano part, while not difficult, is not for a beginner (it switches between triplet and duple divisions throughout the work). However, if your choir is familiar with this hymn, you may only need a couple of rehearsals to put it together.

The Text:
I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives who once was dead.
He lives, my everliving Head.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.
He lives to calm my trou-bled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives, my kind, wise heav’nly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.

He lives to bless me with his love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives;
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives;
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
