Blessèd Redeemer (Christiansen)

Up Cal­va­ry’s mount­ain

one dread­ful morn

Walked Christ my Sav­ior

wea­ry and worn;

Facing for sin­ners death on the cross

That He might save them from end­less loss.

Blessèd Re­deem­er! Pre­cious Re­deem­er!

Seems now I see Him on Cal­va­ry’s tree;

Wounded and bleed­ing

for sin­ners plead­ing

Blind and unheed­ing—dy­ing for me!

Fa­ther for­give them! thus did He pray

E’en while His life­blood flowed fast away;

Praying for sin­ners while in such woe

No one but Je­sus ev­er loved so.

O how I love Him

Sav­ior and friend

How can my prais­es ev­er find end!

Through years un­num­bered on Heav­en’s shore

My tongue shall praise Him for­ev­er­more.
