Lyrics

Oh, the love so full and free
That the Lord be­stowed on me,
When He bade me come to my hea­ven­ly home
By the way of re­deem­ing love.

Refrain

By the way of re­deem­ing love,
By the way of re­deem­ing love,
I’m go­ing home to glo­ry
By the way of re­deem­ing love.

On the cross His life He gave,
Every dy­ing soul to save,
And He points the way to the realms of day
By the way of re­deem­ing love.

Refrain

I will praise the Lord in song
Till I join that blood washed throng,
Nevermore to roam when I reach my home
By the way of re­deem­ing love.
