Praise the Redeemer, Almighty to Save

lyricist: William Groser, 1844
Composer: William Filby, 1861

Praise the Re­deem­er

al­migh­ty to save;

Immanuel has tri­umphed o’er death and the grave!

O sing

for the door of the dun­geon is open

The Cap­tive came forth at the dawn of the day!

How vain the pre­cau­tion! the sig­net is brok­en;

The watch­men in ter­ror have fled far away.

Praise the Re­deem­er

al­migh­ty to save;

Immanuel has tri­umphed o’er death and the grave!

Praise to the Con­quer­or; oh

tell of His love!

In pity to mor­tals He came from above.

O who shall re­build for the ty­rant his pri­son?

The scep­ter lies brok­en that fell from his hands;

His do­min­ion end­ed

the Lord is aris­en;

The helpl­ess shall soon be re­leased from their pri­son.

Praise the Re­deem­er

al­migh­ty to save;

Immanuel has tri­umphed o’er death and the grave!
