Songs:
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.
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!"

1. I feel my Savior's love
In all the world around me.
His Spirit warms my soul
Through ev'rything I see.
2. I feel my Savior's love;
Its gentleness enfolds me,
And when I kneel to pray,
My heart is filled with peace.
3. I feel my Savior's love
And know that he will bless me.
I offer him my heart;
My shepherd he will be.
4. I'll share my Savior's love
By serving others freely.
In serving I am blessed.
In giving I receive.
Chorus
He knows I will follow him,
Give all my life to him.
I feel my Savior's love,
The love he freely gives me.

Scriptures:
62 ¶Now the next day, that followed the day of the a, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that
a said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last
a shall be worse than the first.
65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make
itas sure as ye can.
66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; anda the sabbath day according to the commandment.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but youra shall be turned into b.
18 For Christ also hath once a for sins, the just for theb, that he might bring us to God, being put to c in the flesh, but quickened by the d:
19 By which also he went and
a unto the
b in
c;
29 And as I wondered, my eyes were opened, and my understanding a, and I perceived that the Lord went not in person among the b and the disobedient who had rejected the truth, to teach them;
30 But behold, from among the righteous, he
a his forces and appointed
b,
c with power and authority, and
d them to go forth and carry the light of the gospel to them that were in
e, even to
f the spirits of men; and thus was the gospel preached to the dead.
31 And the chosen messengers went forth to declare the
a day of the Lord and proclaim
b to the captives who were bound, even unto all who would
c of their sins and receive the gospel.
32 Thus was the gospel preached to those who had
a in their sins, without a
b of the truth, or in
c, having
d the prophets.
33 These were taught
a in God, repentance from sin,
b for the
c of sins, the
d of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands,
34 And all other principles of the gospel that were necessary for them to know in order to qualify themselves that they might be
a according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
35 And so it was made known among the dead, both small and great, the unrighteous as well as the faithful, that redemption had been wrought through the
a of the Son of God upon the
b.
36 Thus was it made known that our Redeemer spent his time during his sojourn in the world of
a, instructing and preparing the faithful spirits of the
b who had testified of him in the flesh;
37 That they might carry the message of redemption unto all the dead, unto whom he could not go personally, because of their
a and transgression, that they through the ministration of his servants might also hear his words.

Discuss the irony that Christ’s death brought grief to his disciples on earth but joy to those in the spirit world. What might this teach us about trusting in the Lord with patience?
How can our testimony of the death and resurrection of Christ bring us peace regarding the death of a loved one?
