I serve a risen Savior
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'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 lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
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.
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.

In all the world around me
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.
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.

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
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.
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 song stuck with me for life, since our 'Saturday Bible Class' time in the 1980s. It reminds of the Johnstons, an American missionary family that conducted the spiritual class for kids, every Saturday afternoon in our Harmonfield-Duport Community, Paynesville, Liberia. I just can't believe I remember every word of the song, as I am in my 50s now. Amazing! Those were good old days with the Lord.

This song reminds me of the strength God imparts on me even when I am weak Spiritually. He never leaves me alone.

I’m eternally grateful for this website it is the place I come to when I need peace of mind, as I prepare for my sermon, it is so great to have a place with a plethora of spiritual hymns that seem to be antiquated, and yet relevant. I believe if the churches would get back to the sacred hymns the entire church will have true repentance, revival, and reconciliation.

I agree with many others regarding their appreciation for posting this hymn her It is a celebratory song of praise to THE ONE WHO Suffered and died for the sins of all mankind past, present and future, yet could not remain in a grave.

Thank you for making this hymnal so available

Thank you for this website and for putting this wonderful song on it. I am 79 and have heard it in church all my life. It makes me understand even more the statement (command) of the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:4 -- rejoice in Him always. Allowing our happiness to be based on how we feel as we journey through this life's trials is fruitless compared to the perfect rejoicing God wants for us.

I just started singing this beautiful song from my childhood. My father was a military man and a pastor and he had the most beautiful voice, and Irish tenor. This is one of the most beautiful songs he sang. I loved when my father would sing and he would have us get up and sing with him. Some of my favorite memories. Yes he lives. My Jesus lives. Can’t wait till the day I get to see Jesus, my mom and dad.

I woke today singing this hymn that I haven’t even heard in years. Looked it up here to read the beautiful truths within.

I was just going through the comments and reading some really wonderful statements and testimonies of Christ's power to transform lives. I came across the comments by Virginia Geoffrion of Huntsville, AL, United States of growing up in the Salvation Army and singing this beautiful hymn. My father, whom I mentioned in an earlier comment, was the one who instilled both a love of music in my life, as well as the love of certain hymns, especially this one. He also grew up in the Salvation Army, and because of his innate musical talent, including his beautiful voice, also sang in the streets with his local Salvation Army. That was in Welch, West Virginia and my grandfather, Joseph Straus Butler, ran the local mission for many years. He died the year before I was born, and I have always wished I had known him. He and my father were both born in Virginia. Thank you God, for beginning the chain of events that led to my belief in Him, my salvation, and my love of this hymn. And thank you Virginia Geoffrion for your comment that led to fond memories of my father and grandfather.
I also grew up singing this beautiful hymn - I know He lives
