Lyrics

O, sing of Je­sus, Lamb of God,
Who died on Cal­va­ry,
And for a ran­som shed His blood
For you and ev­en me.

Refrain

I’m re­deemed, I’m re­deemed,
Thro’ the blood of the Lamb that was slain,
I’m re­deemed, I’m re­deemed,
Hallelujah un­to His name.

O, won­drous power of love di­vine,
So pure, so full, so free!
It reach­es out to all man­kind,
Embraces ev­en me.

Refrain

All glo­ry now to Christ the Lord,
And ev­er­more shall be;
He hath red­eemed a world from sin,
And ran­somed even me.
