Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.118
First Line: Christ hath redeemed us: sing,
Christ hath redeemed us: sing
the glad word!
Mercy's sweet message be telling,
How, through the ransom made by
His blood,
Christ now within us is dwelling.
Christ hath redeemed us: Praise to His
Praise Him, ye angels in glory! [name!
Christ hath redeemed us, bearing our shame;
Tell out the wonderful story!
2Christ hath redeemed us, making us free,
Free from the sins that enslaved us;
Never in bondage more Can we be,
Trusting in Him who hath saved us.
3Christ 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,
4Christ hath redeemed us: soon with the throng
Gathered in glory we'll meet Him;
Oh, with what rapture join in the song,
When face to face we shall greet Him!
