Redeemed

Words: Fanny J. CrosbyMusic: W. J. Kirkpatrick

Studio

1Redeemed! how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed thro' his infinite mercy,
His child, and forever I am.

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

2Redeemed! and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of his presence
With me doth continually dwell.

3I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of him all the day long;
I know I shall see him in glory,
And sing of his love for - ev - er.

4I 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.

From 'Brightest and Best.' By permission.
