Lyrics

I know that my redeemer lives, glory, hallelujah!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives, glory, hallelujah!
Shout on, press on, we’re gaining ground, glory, hallelujah!
The dead’s alive, and the lost is found, glory, hallelujah!

He lives to bless me with his love; glory, hallelujah!
He lives to plead my cause above; glory, hallelujah!
Shout on, pray on, we’re gaining ground, glory, hallelujah!
The dead’s alive, and the lost is found, glory, hallelujah!

He lives to crush the fiends of hell; glory, hallelujah!
He lives and doth within me dwell; glory, hallelujah!
Shout on, pray on, we’re gaining ground, glory, hallelujah!
The dead’s alive, and the lost is found, glory, hallelujah!
