Christ Is My Redeemer

lyricist: Daniel Whittle, 1891
Composer: James McGranahan

How sweet the joy that fills my soul

Christ is my Re­deem­er;

His pre­cious blood has made me whole

Christ is my Re­deem­er;

My sins were all upon Him laid

A full atone­ment He hath made

For me He hath the ran­som paid;

Christ is my Re­deem­er.

Tho’ Sa­tan oft my way op­pose

Christ is my Re­deem­er;

With this I bold­ly meet my foes

Christ is my Re­deem­er;

’Twas this that gave me life and light

’Tis this that nerves me for the fight

’Tis this my hope that shines so bright;

Christ is my Re­deem­er.

When tri­als come I still con­fess

Christ is my Re­deem­er;

He gives me grace each care to bless

Christ is my Re­deem­er;

He guides and keeps me day by day

He clos­er comes when dark the way

He doth with this my fears al­lay;

Christ is my Re­deem­er.

The vic­to­ry by this I gain

Christ is my Re­deem­er;

By this I break sin’s gall­ing chain

Christ is my Re­deem­er;

And if He tar­ry and I sleep

My dy­ing hour this hope shall keep

That when He comes the grave to reap

Christ is my Re­deem­er.
