He Redeemed Me (Marquart)

From a roy­al throne that in Heav­en shone

The kind and lov­ing Sav­ior came;

The lowly to raise and bring to His praise

Who trust in His pre­cious name.

He re­deemed me

He re­deemed me

From my sin He set me free!

He re­deemed me

He re­deemed me

He re­deemed me on Cal­va­ry.

Oh

be glad and sing

for He came to bring

Redemption to a help­less race;

Raise high now each voice

come sing and re­joice—

We’re saved by His boun­te­ous grace.

When on earth He dwelt

oft in pray­er He knelt

The lost and err­ing world to save;

Oh won­der­ful thought

with ten­der­ness fraught

His life for His foes He gave.

He trans­formed the tomb with its night of gloom

Let not His child­ren cease to sing;

The deeds of His love

He pleads now above

Our Sav­ior and friend and king.
