Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#75

75. Blessed Redeemer

1 Up Calv'ry's mountain, one dreadful morn,
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn;
Facing for sinners death on the cross,
That He might save them from endless loss.

Chorus:
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer!
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree!
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading-
Blind and unheeding dying for me!

2 "Father, forgive them!" thus did He pray,
E'en while His lifeblood flowed fast away;
Praying for sinners while in such woe-
No one but Jesus ever loved so. [Chorus]

3 O how I love Him, Savior and Friend!
How can my praises ever find end!
Thro' years unnumbered on heaven's shore,
My tongue shall praise Him forever-more. [Chorus]
