Lyrics

Oh, the love so full and free
That the Lord bestowed on me,
When He bade me come to my heavenly home
By the way of redeeming love.

Refrain

By the way of redeeming love,
By the way of redeeming love,
I’m going home to glo­ry
By the way of redeeming love.

On the cross His life He gave,
Every dying soul to save,
And He points the way to the realms of day
By the way of redeeming love.

Refrain

I will praise the Lord in song
Till I join that blood washed throng,
Nevermore to roam when I reach my home
By the way of redeeming love.
