Lyrics: 1 Come sing, my soul, and praise the Lord, who hath redeemed thee by His blood; Delivered thee from chains that bound, And brought thee to redemption ground. Refrain: Redemption ground, the ground of peace! Redemption ground, O wondrous grace! Here let our praise to God abound! Who saves us on redemption ground. 2 Once from my God I wandered far, And with His holy will made war; But now my songs to God abound; I’m standing on redemption ground. [Refrain] 3 O joyous hour! when God to me A vision gave of Calvary; My bonds were loos'd—my soul unbound, I sang upon redemption ground. [Refrain] 4 No works of merit now I plead, But Jesus take, for all my need; No righteousness in me is found, Except upon redemption ground. [Refrain] 5 Come, weary soul, and here find rest; Accept redemption, and be blest: The Christ who died, by God is crowned To pardon on redemption ground. [Refrain] Topics: Praise and Opening Languages: English Tune Title: REDEMPTION GROUND
