  2. PURPOSE To encourage each child to exercise faith in Jesus Christ.

  3. I Know That My Redeemer Lives 1. I know that my Redeemer lives.What comfort this sweet sentence gives!He lives, he lives, who once was dead.He lives, my ever-living Head.He lives to bless me with his love.He lives to plead for me above.He lives my hungry soul to feed.He lives to bless in time of need. 2. He lives to grant me rich supply.He lives to guide me with his eye.He lives to comfort me when faint.He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.He lives to silence all my fears.He lives to wipe away my tears.He lives to calm my troubled heart.He lives all blessings to impart.

  4. 3. He lives, my kind, wise heav’nly Friend.He lives and loves me to the end.He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing.He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.He lives and grants me daily breath.He lives, and I shall conquer death.He lives my mansion to prepare.He lives to bring me safely there. • 4. 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!”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!” Text: Samuel Medley, 1738–1799.

  32. LESSON 43: Moroni Teaches Faith in Jesus Christ

  33. Jesus Christ said, “If ye will have faith in me, ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me” As we discussed earlier, we can know that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen. We should not dispute what we can not see, for we will receive no witness until after the trial of our faith.

  34. As we have discussed in previous lessons, by having faith in our heavenly father and in Jesus, when we humble ourselves before them, they will make us strong, they will bless us with the talents needed based on our faith. • When we need our heavenly father’s help, how should we ask of it? • In Prayer • We have been told, “Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold, it shall be done unto you.”
