(Another hymn with the same first line appears as No. 590) |
|||
I KNOW that my Redeemer lives; This thought transporting pleasure gives, And standing, at the latter day On earth His glories will display. |
|||
2 | And though this present mortal frame Sinks to the dust, from where it came Though buried in the silent tomb Where years and nature shall consume . . . |
||
3 | Yet on that happy rising morn, New life this body shall adorn; My active powers refined shall be, And God, my Saviour, I shall see. |
||
4 | My new-created form shall rise, Adapted for the earth and skies; A body earthly, yet sublime, Above restraints of flesh and time. |
||
5 | These wondering eyes shall glories view Unfolding, and for ever new; And this new tongue shall ever sing In praise of my Redeemer-King. |
