Redemption (Crosby)

O won­der­ful words of the Gos­pel!

O won­der­ful mes­sage they bring

Proclaiming a bless­èd re­demp­tion

Thro’ Je­sus

our Sav­ior and king.

Believe

oh

be­lieve

in His mer­cy

That flows like a fount­ain so free;

Believe

and re­ceive the re­demp­tion

He of­fers to you and to me.

He came from the throne of His glo­ry

And left the bright man­sions ab­ove

The world to re­deem from its bond­age;

So great His com­pas­sion and love.

O come to this won­der­ful Sav­ior

Come

weary and sor­row op­pressed;

Behold on the cross how He suf­fered

That you in His king­dom might rest.

There’s no oth­er re­fuge but Je­sus

No shel­ter where lost ones may fly;

And now

while He’s tend­er­ly call­ing:

O turn ye

for why will ye die?
