He's in the world today.
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy;
I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him
He's always near.
He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.
I see His loving care,
And though my heart grows weary,
I never will despair;
I know that He is leading,
Through all the stormy blast;
The day of His appearing
Will come at last.
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ the King!
The Hope of all who seek Him,
The Help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind.

This is one of my all time favorite hymns along with The Old Rugged Cross and How Great Thou Art; you just can't beat the old classics. Praise His Holy Name.

On occasion I need the encouragement provided by Ackley's reminder that "I serve a Risen Savior", Praise God, for my Savior's resurrection is my Hope of Eternity.

My mom sang this song to me when I was 5 years old. It has remained in my heart ever since.

We sang this hymn every year on the anniversary of my church. I loved it as a child and it is still within my heart now and I find myself humming it when I need it.

Truly beautiful. The blend of words and music is deeply moving.

I wonder why we only sing this song at Easter? It was wonderful to attend a sunrise service in Gettysburg, PA. Even more wonderful was an aunt, who was having speech problems from a stroke a few weeks earlier, joined in singing the song in the car after the service. She did not miss a word. The song has so much meaning.

Wonderful to hear this hymn again-great childhood memories of special moments when this hymn was sung. Now at Easter, this hymn and especially the lyrics have been on my heart and mind...my prayer that my children's children would also some day sing the hymn with joyful faith in our living Savior Jesus Christ!

Favorite hymm since I was a little girl. Now the meaning says it all to me. Especially this time of year. Putting a copy of the song in my Grandaughters Easter gift.
