I serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world today --- 
            Em    Dm            G            C 
I know that He is living, what- ever men may say 
  F 
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer 
    G                                    C 
And just the time I need Him He's always near

And though my heart grows weary I never will de- spair

I know that He is leading, thro' all the stormy blast

The day of His appearing will come at last
