Ich weiß daß mein Erlöser lebt

Ich weiß daß mein Erlöser lebt;
Er lebt und mir zu Freude,
Laß sein, daß ich im Leide
In Arbeit, Müh und Plage
Viel Stunden meiner Tage
Muß auf der Welt verschmerzen:
Blüht doch der Trost im Herzen.

by Erdmann Neumeister (1671-1756)

I know that my Redeemer lives

I know that my Redeemer lives;
He lives for my rejoicing,
May be that I in sorrow,
In labour, toil and torment,
Must many weary days here,
Here in the world be grieving,
Yet in my heart is comfort.

Singable translation by Ebenezer Prout (1835-1909) , "I know that my Redeemer lives"
