The sonnet, titled “For I Know That My Redeemer Liveth, and That He Shall Stand at the Latter Day Upon the Earth,” is a triumphant celebration of Christ’s eternal and victorious reign, inspired by Job 19:25: “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth” (KJV). Written in Shakespearean form with the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG and iambic pentameter, it exalts the Savior’s unshakable sovereignty. The first quatrain establishes His enduring throne and invincible might. The second quatrain highlights His triumphant stand on the latter day, where creation bows and His glory shines undimmed. The third quatrain extends His rule beyond time, affirming that “His reign will be o’er heaven and earth sublime,” uniting both realms under His dominion. The final couplet calls all creation to proclaim His victory, presenting Christ as the sovereign King over all. Though the verse uses first person, the sonnet shifts to third person to universally proclaim His reign, fulfilling the victorious tone rooted in Job’s declaration.

The Savior lives, His throne stands ever sure,
A King whose might no shadow dares defy,
His voice awakens all with strength so pure,
His reign shall tower where the heavens lie.
Upon the latter day He claims His place,
The mountains kneel, the winds His praise proclaim,
No force can dim the splendor of His face,
Eternal light attends His holy name.
The stars exalt His rule beyond all time,
The earth rejoices in His boundless sway,
His reign will be o’er heaven and earth sublime,
And holds dominion in unending day.
Let all creation sound His triumph’s call,
Christ reigns victorious, sovereign over all!
