This is another favorite of mine. I love the words and I love how the first half of the song is supposed to be sung in unison and then the last half sung in 4-part harmony. The fourth verse uses the same words on the first half and the last half: "He lives! All glory to his name! He lives, my Savior, still the same. Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: 'I know that my Redeemer lives!'" I think this is a very effective way to get the message across.
I use this hymn as part of my organ prelude each week.
"SING * PLAY * LOVE"...My thoughts and memories as I play one hymn each day from the hymnbook of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" during 2012.
