Blessèd Redeemer (Crosby 1)

Blessèd Re­deem­er

full of com­pas­sion

Great is Thy mer­cy

bound­less and free;

Now in my weak­ness

seek­ing Thy fa­vor

Lord

I am com­ing clos­er to Thee.

Blessèd Re­deem­er

won­der­ful Sav­ior

Fountain of wis­dom

An­cient of Days

Hope of the faith­ful

light of all ag­es

Jesus my Sav­ior

Thee will I praise.

Blessèd Re­deem­er

Thou art my re­fuge

Under Thy watch-care

safe I shall be;

Gladly ador­ing

joy­ful­ly trust­ing

Still I am com­ing clos­er to Thee.

Blessèd Re­deem­er

gra­cious and ten­der

Now and for­ev­er dwell Thou in me;

Thou

my pro­tect­or

shield and de­fend­er

Draw me and keep me clos­er to Thee.
