Representative Text

1 Jesus, Redeemer, coming from glory,
Down to this earth to seek out the lost,
Shedding his blood to purchase our pardon;
O what a purchase! great was the cost!

Refrain:
Jesus, Redeemer, Jesus, anointed;
He hath redeemed my soul from the grave,
Jesus exalted, righteous and holy,
Jesus Messiah; the mighty to save.

2 Jesus, Redeemer, when I behold thee,
Dying in anguish there on the tree,
Then is my heart so touched with emotion
While I remember, this was for me! [Refrain]

3 Jesus, Redeemer, I would adore thee;
I would lift up my voice in thy name,
I would proclaim with joy the glad tidings,
Heralding forth his honor and fame. [Refrain]

4 Jesus, Redeemer, mansions preparing;
Soon he will come in glory again;
When he shall take us with him to heaven,
There in his kingdom ever to reign. [Refrain]
