Lyrics

Lyrics

My soul is re­deemed by the blood of the Lamb,
The blood of the Lamb, the blood of the Lamb;
He sought me and bought me, how hap­py I am,
Since saved by the blood of the Lamb.

Refrain

My soul is re­deemed by the blood of the Lamb,
The blood of the Lamb, the blood of the Lamb;
My soul is re­deemed by the blood of the Lamb,
The blood of the Lamb of God.

It was in the plan of re­demp­tion for man,
Redemption for man, re­demp­tion for man,
That Je­sus should come and be slain as a lamb,
To pur­chase sal­va­tion for man.

Refrain

The Lamb with­out blem­ish for me hath been slain,
For me hath been slain, for me hath been slain;
’Twas Je­sus the Sav­ior, He liv­eth again,
’Twas Je­sus the Lamb that was slain.

Refrain

My Sav­ior, I love Thee for par­don so free,
For par­don so free, for par­don so free;
My life and my all I will give un­to Thee,
To Je­sus who suf­fered for me.

Refrain

We wait for Thy com­ing, the sweet by and by,
The sweet by and by, the sweet by and by;
We watch and we work, for the time draw­eth nigh
When we shall be ga­thered on high.
