Job’s bold profession of faith inspired this hymn, I Know That My Redeemer Liveth (vintage 1893). Sung here by a Mennonite choir. Background sets by God the Father–the gorgeous work of His hands.
Job knew this, well over a thousand years before Our Lord Jesus Christ was born: I Know That My Redeemer Liveth, sung by “a Mennonite choir.” Background set design by God the Father: His handiwork on earth displays His glory and His love.

From Job 19:25-26, I know that my Redeemer liveth… Sung by “a Mennonite choir”–if I knew more about them, I’d tell you.
Why all the pictures of mountains and hills? Do you really need to ask? I will live up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help… (Psalm 121:1)
From the choir at Oxford, excerpted from Handel’s The Messiah (third part, aria), we present I Know That My Redeemer Liveth.
This solo, by the way, was sung by an 11-year-old boy named Henry Jenkinson. Remarkable.
One of the readers here, Laura, mentioned this hymn a while back, before I’d learned how to post videos and pictures. I post it now because it goes to the heart of our faith.
The music is by Handel, part of The Messiah. The words were uttered by Job, when he had lost everything and was on the brink of death himself: “I know that my redeemer liveth… Yet in my flesh shall I see Him.”
Yes! Oh, yes!
