1 I’ve been redeem’d by the precious blood,
Shed on the cross by the Son of God,
This is my hope, my only plea,
That Jesus died for me.

Refrain:
With the host of the ransom’d you’ll find me,
You’ll find me, you’ll find me,
Yes, somewhere in heaven you’ll find me,
Pardon’d and sav’d for eternity.

2 What will you do in the judgment day,
When earth and heav’n shall have pass’d away?
When at the bar of God you stand,
Awaiting His command? [Refrain]

3 Why do you linger and yet delay?
Turn from the wild way of sin today,
Then, when the judgment day shall come
Your soul shall find its home. [Refrain]
