I know that my Redeemer lives by Daniel Read — Lyrics
I know that my Redeemer lives,
And that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.
And though worms destroy this body,
Yet in my flesh shall I see God.
(Job 19:2526)

About I know that my Redeemer lives
Daniel Read's anthem opens with a clear, confident declaration of faith. The SATB voices present the text, drawn from the Book of Job and the First Epistle to the Corinthians, with directness and conviction. The music reflects the profound certainty of the lyrics, proclaiming the resurrection of Christ and the promise of life after death. It speaks of a steadfast belief that the Redeemer lives, offering solace and hope through its solid harmonic language and declamatory style. The 'Hallelujah' chorus provides a powerful and affirmative conclusion, embodying the triumph expressed in the text.
