As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 488 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

I know that my Redeemer lives; He lives, and on the earth shall stand; And though to worms my flesh He gives, My dust lies numbered in His hand.

In this reanimated clay I surely shall behold Him near, Shall see Him in the latter day In all His majesty appear.

With mine and not another's eyes The King in beauty I shall view; I shall from Him receive the prize, The starry crown to victors due.
