158 I Am Content! My Jesus Lives Again

1 I am content! My Jesus lives again, In whom my heart is pleased. He has fulfilled the law of God for me; God's wrath he has appeased. Since he is risen from the dead, Death could perish never; I also shall not die forever. I am content! I am content! 2 I am content! My Jesus is my head, His member I will be. He bowed his head when on the cross he died With cries of agony. Now death is brought into subjection For me, too, by his resurrection. I am content! I am content! 3 I am content! My Jesus is my light, My radiant sun of grace. His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all; Sweet comfort, hope, and peace. This Easter sun has brought salvation And everlasting exultation. I am content! I am content! 4 I am content! Lord, set me ever free And wake me from the dead That I may rise forevermore to be With you, my living head. The chain that holds my body sever; Then shall my soul rejoice forever. I am content! I am content!
