SDA Hymnal 402
By Christ Redeemed
Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear]3/4
1By Christ redeemed, In Christ restored,
We keep the memory adored,
And show the death of our dear Lord,
Until He come.
2His broken body in our stead
Is here, in his memorial bread;
And so our feeble love is fed,
Until He come.
3His fearful drops of agony,
His life-blood shed for us we see;
The wine shall tell the mystery,
Until He come.
4And thus that dark betrayal night
With the last advent we unite,
By one blest chain of loving rite,
Until He come.
