I Know That My Redeemer Liveth (Aria from the Messiah)



I know that my Redeemer liveth,
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.

For now is Christ risen from the dead,
the first fruits of them that sleep.

Texts: Job 19:25-26; 1 Corinthians 15:20

Composer: George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
