From a roy­al throne that in Heav­en shone
The kind and lov­ing Sav­ior came;
The lowly to raise and bring to His praise,
Who trust in His pre­cious name.

Refrain

He re­deemed me, He re­deemed me,
From my sin He set me free!
He re­deemed me, He re­deemed me,
He re­deemed me on Cal­va­ry.

Oh, be glad and sing, for He came to bring
Redemption to a help­less race;
Raise high now each voice, come sing and re­joice—
We’re saved by His boun­te­ous grace.

Refrain

When on earth He dwelt, oft in pray­er He knelt,
The lost and err­ing world to save;
Oh won­der­ful thought, with ten­der­ness fraught,
His life for His foes He gave.

Refrain

He trans­formed the tomb with its night of gloom,
Let not His child­ren cease to sing;
The deeds of His love, He pleads now above,
Our Sav­ior and friend and king.
