Lyrics

Redeemed and saved!
For me the Sav­ior suf­fered,
Laid down His life, a ran­som for my own;
Took on Him­self my load of con­dem­na­tion,
And tread the cru­el wine­press all alone.

Refrain

Redeemed! Re­deemed!
My grate­ful heart keeps sing­ing,
Redeemed and saved! How won­der­ful it seems!
My sin is gone, I am an heir of glo­ry,
O bliss in­deed be­yond my bright­est dreams!

Redeemed and saved!
Oh! rap­tur­ous was the mo­ment,
When, in des­pair, I heard His par­don free,
When first I knew the Son of God, in dy­ing,
Had died for me, had died for ev­en me.

Refrain

Redeemed and saved!
No more a wan­der­ing ali­en,
No more the guilt, the fears I felt be­fore;
But now a peace and joy that ne­ver fail­eth,
Since I am His, yes, His for­ev­er­more!

Refrain
