How sweet the joy that fills my soul
Christ is my Redeemer;
His precious blood has made me whole

A full atonement He hath made
For me He hath the ransom paid;
Christ is my Redeemer.

With this I boldly meet my foes
’Twas this that gave me life and light
’Tis this that nerves me for the fight
’Tis this my hope that shines so bright;
When trials come I still confess
He gives me grace each care to bless
He guides and keeps me day by day
He closer comes when dark the way
He doth with this my fears allay;
The victory by this I gain
By this I break sin’s galling chain
And if He tarry and I sleep
My dying hour this hope shall keep
That when He comes the grave to reap
