I know that my Redeemer lives;
He lives, who once was dead;
To me in grief
He comfort gives;
With peace
He crowns my head.
He lives triumphant
O’er the grave,
At God’s right hand on high,
My ransomed soul
To keep and save,
To bless and glorify.
He lives, that I may also live,
And now His grace proclaim;
He lives that I may honor give
To His most holy name.
Let strains of heav’nly music rise,
While all their anthem sing
To Christ, my precious Sacrifice,
And ever living King.
George Handel
Charles Wesley
Wesley and Newton
These two men changed American History. Religious persecution does that.
