Representative Text

1 The blessed peace of Christ my bosom fills,
The Father’s smiling face I see;
With love divine my happy spirit thrills,
For Jesus’ blood has ransomed me.

Refrain:
The blood of Jesus ransomed me,
He paid my debt and set me free;
Where’er I go the world shall know,
The blood of Jesus ransomed me.

2 He floods my pathway with a hav’nly light,
He caused my blinded eyes to see;
From thrall of Satan and from sin’s dark night
The blood of Jesus ransomed me. [Refrain]

3 He grants me grace to foil the tempter’s art,
He gives me strength to meet the foe;
He makes His dwelling-place within my heart,
He’s with me wherever I go. [Refrain]

4 When time on earth for me shall be no more,
And I in heav’n His face shall see,
I’ll sing His praises on that blissful shore,
And tell how Jesus ransomed me. [Refrain]
