10030. He Redeemed Me

1 From a royal throne that in Heaven shone
The kind and loving Savior came;
The lowly to raise and bring to His praise,
Who trust in His precious name.

Refrain:
He redeemed me, He redeemed me,
From my sin He set me free!
He redeemed me, He redeemed me,
He redeemed me on Calvary.

2 Oh, be glad and sing, for He came to bring
Redemption to a helpless race;
Raise high now each voice, come sing and rejoice—
We’re saved by His bounteous grace. [Refrain]

3 When on earth He dwelt, oft in prayer He knelt,
The lost and erring world to save;
Oh wonderful thought, with tenderness fraught,
His life for His foes He gave. [Refrain]

4 He transformed the tomb with its night of gloom,
Let not His children cease to sing;
The deeds of His love, He pleads now above,
Our Savior and friend and king. [Refrain]
