Written By Daniel Webster Whittle
‘Christ hath redeemed us;’ sing the glad world!
Mercy’s sweet message be telling,
How thro’ the ransom made by His blood,
Christ now within us dwelling.
Refrain:
‘Christ hath redeemed us;’ Praise to His name!
Praise Him, ye angels in glory;
‘Christ hath redeemed us,’ bearing our shame;
Tell out the wonderful story.
‘Christ hath redeemed us,’ making us free,
Free from the sins that enslave us;
Never in bondage more can we be,
Trusting in Him who hath saved us.
‘Christ hath redeemed us;’ we are His own,
Purchased by blood; He will hold us;
Nor will He ever leave us alone,
Safely His arms shall enfold us.
‘Christ hath redeemed us;’ soon with the throng
Gathered in glory we’ll meet Him;
O with what rapture join in the song,
When face to face we shall greet Him.
