Lyrics

The song of glad redemption,
The glory of His grace,
We'll sing thro' endless ages
In yonder dwelling place.
But, while on earth we tarry,
O souls, redeemed by Christ,
Repeat His praise who bought us
With precious blood, unpriced.

He came our souls to rescue,
From sin's o'erwhelming flood,
In Him we have forgiveness,
Redemption thro' the blood.
According to the riches
O His abounding grace,
He saves the souls that trust Him
And they shall see His face.

Blest be the God and Father
Of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Thro' grace, His well-beloved
He freely sacrificed.
Let all who hear, receive it,
The won'drous gift of Love,
Will you today believe it,
The message from above?

Chorus:
With heart and voice now sing it,
The glad redemption song,
To matchless grace be glory;
Rejoice, O blood-bought throng.
