I Know My Redeemer Lives (Performed by Sacred Harp Singers of Camp Hill)

“I never would have dreamed that I would’ve even seen a day in the days that I’m in now to see how many young people could go back and make a sketch out of what I said the other day. And I’m glad that God has saw fit for our young peoples, Black and White, a better way in the world today to come. And I’m just happy. I could cry.” – Lewis Martin, Jr.

“For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.” – Job 18-19

From the Album Here I Stand: Elder’s Wisdom; Children’s Song (Smithsonian Folkways)

I know that my Redeemer lives
Glory, hallelujah
What comfort this sweet sentence gives
Glory, Hallelujah

Shout on, pray on
We’re gaining ground
Glory, hallelujah
The dead is alive
And the best is found
Glory, hallelujah
