Over my spirit, silently musing,
Came a sweet message, peaceful, divine;
Tranquilly stealing, slowly repeating,
I have redeemed thee, and thou art Mine.
Refrain
Thou hast redeemed me, wonderful Savior,
Under Thy watch-care still I would be;
Tenderly fold me, lovingly hold me;
Hiding forever my soul in Thee.
Rich are the blessings Thou art bestowing,
Bountiful Shepherd, Savior divine;
I shall not weary, walking beside Thee,
Thou hast redeemed me, my life is Thine.
Refrain
Green are the pastures, cool are the waters,
Where at the noontide oft I recline;
How shall I thank Thee, how shall I praise Thee?
Thou hast redeemed me, my life is Thine.
Refrain
