14486. Jesus Paid The Ransom

1 When on Calvary’s mountain,
God’s belovèd Son,
Opened up life’s fountain,
Lo! the work was done.

Refrain:
Jesus paid the ransom
Laid on you and me,
When He bled and died
For us on Calvary.

2 He was pure and holy,
Vile and sinful we;
Yet the blessèd Savior
Died to make us free. [Refrain]

3 On the cross He pleadeth
By His mighty love,
And He intercedeth,
Now for us above. [Refrain]

4 Come, and now believe Him,
Who for thee hath died;
Come, and now receive Him,
Christ the crucified. [Refrain]
