1 Oh, the love so full and free
That the Lord bestowed on me,
When He bade me come
To my heave\'nly home
By the way of redeeming love.

Chorus:
By the way of redeeming love,
By the way of redeeming love,
I’m going home to glory
By the way of redeeming love.

2 On the cross His life He gave,
Ev'ry dying soul to save,
And He points the way
To the realms of day
By the way of redeeming love. [Chorus]

3 I will praise the Lord in song
Till I join that blood-washed throng,
Nevermore to roam
When I reach my home
By the way of redeeming love. [Chorus]
