Redemption (Toy)

lyricist: Isaiah Toy, 1896
Composer: Lincoln Hall

A sin­ner though I am

Of dark­est

deep­est shade

A right­eous­ness I claim

My own thro’ Je­sus made.

Unnumbered worlds would not atone

But Je­sus bore my sins alone

But Je­sus bore my sins alone.

Saved

O yes

I’m saved

Saved

O yes

I’m saved;

Thro’ Je­sus’ blood and right­eous­ness

I now am saved:

Saved

O yes

I’m saved

Saved

O yes

I’m saved;

Thro’ Je­sus’ blood and right­eous­ness

I now am saved.

This love in­ef­fa­ble

My heart hath pre­pos­sessed

And filled my fer­vid soul

With won­der un­ex­pressed;

For thought or word seeks but in vain

The holy mys­tery to ex­plain

The holy mys­tery to ex­plain.

Well might se­raph­ic tongues

Be mute

with sac­red awe;

And Heav’n’s sub­lim­est songs

Suspend

while an­gels saw

A glimpse of what could not be told

Nor can eter­ni­ty un­fold

Nor can eter­ni­ty un­fold.

Heav’n’s un­ex­am­pled love

To man

in Christ dis­played

Shall end­less won­der prove

Unfathomed

un­por­trayed.

Eternal love! the Of­fend­ed dies

To bring the of­fend­er to the skies

To bring the of­fend­er to the skies.
