How wonderful redemption is

How wonderful redemption is

My gracious Lord

in Thee!

Not seen

nor heard

nor e’er conceived

What Thou hast done for me!

Thou art divine

mysterious

Beyond my grandest phrase!

Redemption is so marvellous

Beyond all pow’r to praise!

For us Thou on the Cross wast pierced

And blood and water streamed;

That life divine be giv’n to us

That we may be redeemed.

Thy precious blood has made us clean

That we accepted be;

Regenerated by Thy life

We now are one with Thee.

Thou art the grain divine that died

The many grains to bear

Which

blent and formed

Thy Body are.

And all Thy nature share.

We are the increase of Thyself

And Thou our content art;

Through us Thou livest and dost move

And manifested art.

Since we’re Thy Body

Thou may come

And settle down in us;

In us Thou may obtain Thy home

And we become Thy trust.

Thy heart to satisfy and please

We are Thy counterpart

Now in one Body with Thyself

Enjoying all Thou art.

While in remembrance now we meet

And here the symbols see

For Thy redemption great and full

We’re filled with praise to Thee.

Since we are made Thy Body

Lord

Thy dwelling place and bride

We would give thanks and worship Thee

And in Thy praise abide.
