1. Redeem’d, O wondrous story!
Redeem’d and sav’d by grace;
With Jesus in his glory,
One day to have a place;
In loving adoration,
I lift my song today;
To him who brought salvation,
And took my sins away,
To him who brought salvation,
And took my sins away.
Chorus:
O wondrous, wondrous story,
O matchless, boundless love;
He laid aside his glory,
That I might dwell above.
He laid aside his glory,
That I might dwell above.
2. In sin and darkness straying,
Unconcious of my need,
My erring footsteps staying,
His Spirit came to plead;
And though I long resisted,
And would not heed his voice;
He lovingly persisted,
Till Christ became my choice,
He lovingly persisted,
Till Christ became my choice.
3. From darkness now translated,
Into his glorious light;
In Christ anew created,
How shall I praise aright?
My life he fills with gladness,
Old things have passed away;
I have no cause for sadness,
For he has come to stay,
I have no cause for sadness,
For he has come to stay.
