11416. He Redeemed Me

1 Would you know why Christ, my Savior,
Is my constant theme and song?
Why to seek His loving favor
Is my joy the whole day long?

Refrain:
He redeemed me, He redeemed me,
How the ransomed choir
Repeat it o’er and o’er!
He redeemed me, He redeemed me,
Glory, glory be to Him forevermore.

2 Oh, the days are full of gladness
That I spend in His employ;
I can banish care and sadness
In that song of heav’nly joy. [Refrain]

3 Come, belovèd, bow before Him,
Seek the pardon of your king,
That on earth you may adore Him,
And with saints in glory sing. [Refrain]
