He lives, the great Redeemer lives

1 He lives, the great Redeemer lives,
What joy the blest assurance gives!
And now, before His Father, God,
Pleads the full merit of His blood.

2 Repeated crimes awake our fears,
And justice arm’d with frowns appears;
But in the Saviour’s lovely face
Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace.

3 Hence, then, ye black, despairing thoughts!
Above our fears, above our faults,
His powerful intercessions rise,
And guilt recedes and terror dies.

4 In ev’ry dark, distressful hour,
When sin and Satan join their power,
Let this dear hope repel the dart,
That Jesus bears us on His heart.

5 Great Advocate, Almighty Friend–
On Him our humble hopes depend:
Our cause can never, never fail,
For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.

      He lives, the great Redeemer lives

      1 He lives, the great Redeemer lives,
      What joy the blest assurance gives!
      And now, before His Father, God,
      Pleads the full merit of His blood.

      2 Repeated crimes awake our fears,
      And justice arm’d with frowns appears;
      But in the Saviour’s lovely face
      Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace.

      3 Hence, then, ye black, despairing thoughts!
      Above our fears, above our faults,
      His powerful intercessions rise,
      And guilt recedes and terror dies.

      4 In ev’ry dark, distressful hour,
      When sin and Satan join their power,
      Let this dear hope repel the dart,
      That Jesus bears us on His heart.

      5 Great Advocate, Almighty Friend–
      On Him our humble hopes depend:
      Our cause can never, never fail,
      For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.
