Jessie Pounds was in poor health as a child, and received her early education at home. At age 15, she began submitting articles to Cleveland newspapers and various religious publications. In 1896, she married Reverend John Pounds, pastor of the Central Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. In her early years, an editor commented that some of her poetry would make good hymn texts. So began her song writing career. Over her lifetime, she wrote 50 librettos for cantatas and operettas, 9 books, and more than 400 Gospel song texts. She collaborated with James Fillmore for three decades.
Lyrics:
I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
