Author: Sir H. W. Baker Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #404 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven,
Through Jesus’ precious blood,
Heirs of His home in heaven,
O praise our pardoning God!
Praise Him in tuneful measures,
Who gave His Son to die;
Praise Him whose sevenfold treasures,
Enrich and sanctify!
2 Once on the dreary mountain
We wandered far and wide,
Far from the cleansing fountain,
Far from the piercéd side;
But Jesus sought and found us,
And washed our guilt away;
With cords of love He bound us
To be His own for aye.
3 Dear Master, Thine the glory
Of each recovered soul;
Ah! who can tell the story
Of love that made us whole?
Not ours, not ours the merit;
Be Thine alone the praise,
And ours a thankful spirit
To serve Thee all our days.
4 Now keep us, Holy Savior,
In Thy true love and fear;
And grant us of Thy favor
The grace to persevere;
Till, in Thy new creation,
Earth’s time-long travail o’er,
We find our full salvation,
And praise Thee evermore. Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Third Sunday after Trinity; Conversion; Justification; Redemption Tune Title: [Redeemed, restored, forgiven]
