Lyrics

There’s a ran­som paid to pur­chase me,
By the Lord who died on Cal­va­ry;
Yes! from ev­ery chain I am set free!
I am ran­somed and re­deemed!

Refrain

Ransomed and re­deemed!
Ransomed and re­deemed!
By the pre­cious blood of Je­sus who was slain,
I’m ran­somed and re­deemed!

By His death I mer­cy now have found,
And my praise shall thro’ the earth re­sound;
I will spread the joy­ful news around!
I am ran­somed and re­deemed!

Refrain

Hallelujah! Je­sus is my king!
Come and learn the song which now I sing;
While I’m rest­ing sweet­ly ’neath His wing,
I am ran­somed and re­deemed!

Refrain

Heav’nly glo­ry fills my soul today,
It has come there ev­er­more to stay;
This my song shall be along the way,
I am ran­somed and re­deemed!
