Lyrics

Redeemed, how I love to pro­claim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His in­fi­nite mer­cy,
His child and for­ev­er I am.

Refrain

Redeemed, re­deemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, re­deemed,
His child and for­ev­er I am.

Redeemed, and so hap­py in Je­sus,
No lang­uage my rap­ture can tell;
I know that the light of His pre­sence
With me doth con­tin­ual­ly dwell.

Refrain

I think of my bless­èd Re­deem­er,
I think of Him all the day long:
I sing, for I can­not be si­lent;
His love is the theme of my song.

Refrain

I know I shall see in His beau­ty
The King in whose law I de­light;
Who lov­ing­ly guard­eth my foot­steps,
And give­th me songs in the night.

Refrain

I know there’s a crown that is wait­ing,
In yon­der bright man­sion for me,
And soon, with the spi­rits made per­fect,
At home with the Lord I shall be.
