Lyrics

What a change has now come o’er me
Since I’ve been re­deemed;
Brighter grows the way be­fore me
Since I’ve been re­deemed.

Refrain

I am re­deemed, I am re­deemed,
For the blood of Christ my Sav­ior
Hath re­deem­èd me;
I am re­deemed, I am re­deemed,
For the blood of Christ my Sav­ior
Hath re­deem­èd me!

Sin has told a dread­ful sto­ry,
But I’ve been re­deemed;
Now my soul is filled with glo­ry,
For I’ve been re­deemed.

Refrain

Now I love the Lord’s ap­pear­ing,
For I’ve been re­deemed;
And this hope my heart is cheer­ing,
Since I’ve been re­deemed.

Refrain

All na­tions in a day,
May we be among the num­ber
That to Him will say:
