Blessèd Redeemer (Crosby 2)

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1868
Composer: James North

Blessèd Re­deem­er

gra­cious­ly hear us

Breathing de­vo­tion like in­cense to Thee;

Tenderly shield us

lov­ing­ly cheer us

Blessèd Re­deem­er

Thy child­ren are we.

While in Thy king­dom an­gels ad­ore Thee

Joyfully sing­ing ev­er be­fore Thee;

Grant our pe­ti­tion—hear

we im­plore Thee

Voices now sing­ing prais­es to Thee.

Tenderly shield us

lov­ing­ly cheer us

Blessèd Re­deem­er

Thy child­ren are we.

Tranquilly fad­ing

slow­ly de­clin­ing

Twilight is pass­ing in beau­ty away;

Now on Thy bo­som safe­ly re­clin­ing

Teach us

our Fa­ther

oh

teach us to pray.

Blessèd Re­deem­er

leave us

oh nev­er

Till we have an­chored ov­er the riv­er

Till we shall praise Thee

sing­ing for­ev­er

Jesus

our Sav­ior

glo­ry to Thee.

Now on Thy bo­som safe­ly re­clin­ing

Teach us

our Fa­ther

oh

teach us to pray.
