" I know that my Redeemer liveth."-Job 19:25.
" Their Redeemer is strong."-Jer. 50 :34.
I know that my Redeemer lives
To intercede for me:
The strength that this assurance gives
Confirms the feeble knee:
My Redeemer
Pities my infirmity.
The weak and foolish of this world
He makes His special choice,
Showing the mysteries of grace
To those who know His voice:
Strong Redeemer!
'Neath Thy shadow we rejoice.
His promises, forever true,
Like open portals stand,
Where faith may enter, and receive
Her bounty from His hand:
My Redeemer
Meets the hungry soul's demand.
And oh, how tenderly He bends
To hear a contrite cry!
Interpreting the tale untold
That hangs upon a sigh:
My Redeemer,
As the sinner's Friend, draws nigh.
"The everlasting covenant,"
Sealed with His blood, I see!
How full the pardon, and how deep
The peace He made for me!
My Redeemer
Gave His life to set me free.
And while on every cloud of care
His bow of peace appears,
The brightness of this "blessed hope"
The dim horizon clears-
My Redeemer
Soon shall wipe away all tears!
Oh then shall rise the glad "new song,"
From hearts attuned aright,
When all Thou hast "redeemed to God"
Shall walk with Thee in white!
Blest Redeemer!
Haste that day which knows no night.
J. M. G.
