I WILL sing of my Redeemer,

And His wondrous love to me;

On the cruel cross He suffer'd,

From the curse to set me free.--CHO.



Chorus.--Sing, O sing of my Redeemer,

	With His blood He purchas'd me,

	On the cross He seal'd my pardon,

	Paid the debt, 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 pow'r I'll tell,

How the victory He giveth

Over sin, and death, and hell.--CHO.



I will sing of my Redeemer,

And His heav'nly love to me;

He from death to life hath brought me,

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