Lyrics

Lyrics

My soul is redeemed by the blood of the Lamb,
The blood of the Lamb, the blood of the Lamb;
He sought me and bought me, how happy I am,
Since saved by the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

My soul is redeemed by the blood of the Lamb,
The blood of the Lamb, the blood of the Lamb;
My soul is redeemed by the blood of the Lamb,
The blood of the Lamb of God.

It was in the plan of redemption for man,
Redemption for man, redemption for man,
That Jesus should come and be slain as a lamb,
To purchase salvation for man.

Refrain

The Lamb without blemish for me hath been slain,
For me hath been slain, for me hath been slain;
’Twas Jesus the Savior, He liveth again,
’Twas Jesus the Lamb that was slain.

Refrain

My Savior, I love Thee for pardon so free,
For pardon so free, for pardon so free;
My life and my all I will give unto Thee,
To Jesus who suffered for me.

Refrain

We wait for Thy coming, the sweet by and by,
The sweet by and by, the sweet by and by;
We watch and we work, for the time draweth nigh
When we shall be gathered on high.
