76. He Ransomed Me

1 There’s a sweet and blessed story
Of the Christ who came from glory
Just to rescue me from sin and misery;
He in loving kindness sought me
And from sin and shame hath bro't me,
Hallelujah! Jesus ransomed me.

Chorus:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
Who can take a poor lost sinner,
Lift him from the miry clay and set me free;
I will ever tell the story,
Shouting Glory, glory, glory,
Hallelujah! Jesus ransomed me.

2 From the depth of sin and sadness
To the heights of joy and gladness
Jesus lifted me in mercy full and free;
With His precious blood He bo't me,
When I knew Him not, He sought me,
And in love divine He ransomed me. [Chorus]

3 From the throne of heav'nly glory-
Oh, the sweet and blessed story!
Jesus came to lift the lost in sin and woe
Into liberty all-glorious,
Trophies of His grace victorious,
Evermore rejoicing here below. [Chorus]

4 By and by with joy increasing,
And with gratitude unceasing,
Lifted up with Christ forevermore to be;
I will join the hosts there singing,
In the anthem ever ringing,
To the King of Love who ransomed me. [Chorus]
