I know that my Redeemer lives,
Glory, hallelujah!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives,
Glory, hallelujah!
[chorus]
Shout on, pray on, we’re gaining ground,
Glory, hallelujah!
The dead’s alive and the lost is found,
Glory, hallelujah!
He lives to bless you with His love,
Glory, hallelujah!
He lives to plead my cause above,
Glory, hallelujah!
He lives to crush the fiends of hell,
Glory, hallelujah!
He lives and doth within me dwell,
Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, hallelujah!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives,
Glory, hallelujah!
[chorus]
Shout on, pray on, we’re gaining ground,

The dead’s alive and the lost is found,
Glory, hallelujah!
He lives to bless you with His love,
Glory, hallelujah!
He lives to plead my cause above,
Glory, hallelujah!
He lives to crush the fiends of hell,
Glory, hallelujah!
He lives and doth within me dwell,
Glory, hallelujah!
