Lyics

I WILL sing of my Redeemer,

And his wondrous love to me;

On the cruel cross he suffered,

From the curse to set me free.



CHO.-Sing, O sing of my Redeemer:

With his blood he ransomed me;

On the cross he sealed my pardon,

Gave his life and made me free.



I will tell the wondrous story

How, my lost estate to save,

In his boundless love and mercy,

He the ransom freely gave.-CHO.



I will praise my dear Redeemer;

His triumphant power I'll tell-

How the vic-to-ry he giveth

Over sin and death and hell.-CHO.



I will sing of my Redeemer,

And his heavenly love to me;

He from death to life hath brought me,

Son of God, with him to be.-CHO.
