Hymn for the Week

Most people just sing the hymns, they never really ponder and think about the words. I am going to start a "Hymn for the Week" so we can ponder the words to different hymns. This week's hymn is my all-time favorite hymn. The words to it describe my testimony.
I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES (Hymns, page 136)
I know that my Redeemer lives, what comfort this sweet sentence gives.
He lives, He lives who once was dead, He lives my ever-living Head.
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 grant me rich supply, He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint, He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
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 my kind, wise, heavenly 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 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.
