Oh the Love That Us Redeemèd

lyricist: Arthur Russell, 1851
Composer: Johann Thommen, 1745

Oh the love that us re­deem­èd!

Who can all that love ex­plore?

From the cross on us it beam­èd

Angel hosts that love

ad­ore;

Wondrous love from Heav’n des­cend­ing

Men to raise to life on high!

Be our praise to Him as­cend­ing

Who for sin­ners deigned to die!

Holy Lamb of God! we bless Thee:

Thou our sins hast borne away;

King of kings our songs con­fess Thee

Light of ev­er­last­ing day!

What though still the world dis­own Thee

Thou o’er Heav’n and earth dost reign;

In our hearts we

Lord

en­throne Thee

Thou wilt not our love dis­dain.

For Thy sor­rows we ad­ore Thee

For the griefs that wrought our peace:

Gracious Sav­ior! we im­plore Thee

In our hearts Thy love in­crease.

Lord

to Thee in sor­row fly­ing

May we find in Thee our rest:

Lord

on Thee in death re­ly­ing

May our end in Thee be blest.
