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

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.

I love this hymn.

Laying in bed at 11:11 pm and this song cane flooding into my spirit. I haven’t heard it in years, but the joy of the memories of singing this at my Grandparents country church and my own church growing up. I praise the Lord for those seeds that were so loving sowed. I love you Grandma and Grandpa Duncan. May God bless you and keep you until we meet again. 🙏🏻

As I buckled my 5 year old granddaughter into her car seat she began to sing this hymn that we sang in church earlier that day. Gram and Gramps joined her and oh what joy filled our hearts as we sang together. We want to leave a living legacy of Jesus as forever friend and Savior in our grandchildren’s hearts.

This song came to my heart so strongly on the 3rd day of July, 2018; when I came to the understanding, appreciation and acknowledgment of the provision of God that I received, not just by looking to that cross on which He died, but actually SEEING what Christ wrought for me there, then and even now.
I came to the full consciousness of my baptism into the death of Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but CHRIST LIVES IN ME! I am merely Christ’s container, carrying Him everywhere He leads; until death is swallowed up in victory, and I, revealed exactly like my Lord, Who gave Himself for me and lives forever and ever. AMEN

I was in a despairing situation while all hope seemed to had lost. Everyone knew I was going through hell. I was in secondary form 2 then. A very good friend and a classmate of mine visited me to offer his sympathy and console me. He suggested to me to find help outside the realm of God and Godliness, such as going to seek help with a native doctor or a soothsayer. Instantly, this song rang in my heart and I sang it silently within me. I told my I will do no such thing that I will continue to trust my God to see me through. I had my peace thank, though I still the problem. But in His own good time the Lord helped me out. Praise the Lord.

Hi John. I just saw your comment after I was looking for the full lyrics to this song. I think I know the answer : I grew up on an Air Force Base in the 60’s and they had a little songbook that had old hymns in it. I still remember several of those songs, so we must have sung them often. This hymn was one that I know I learned there. :-) Laura

I heard this uplifting song at the burial service of a soldier at West Point 13 April. I was surprised that so many of those in attendance knew it well because there were many voices of his comrades raised in song.

Thought of this song while riding home on the bus yesterday. Was beginning to feel a little burdened, then I got to "And though my heart grows weary, I never will despair;
I know that He is leading". Just the reminder I needed!!! How on time our God is!!!
