Redemption Ground

lyricist: Daniel Whittle, 1879
Composer: James McGranahan

Come sing

my soul

and praise the Lord

Who hath re­deemed thee by His blood;

Delivered thee from chains that bound

And brought thee to re­demp­tion ground.

Redemption ground

the ground of peace!

Redemption ground

O won­drous grace!

Here let our praise to God ab­ound!

Who saves us on re­demp­tion ground.

Once from my God I wan­dered far

And with His ho­ly will made war;

But now my songs to God ab­ound;

I’m stand­ing on re­demp­tion ground.

O joy­ous hour! when God to me

A vi­sion gave of Cal­va­ry;

My bonds were loosed—my soul un­bound;

I sang up­on re­demp­tion ground.

No words of mer­it now I plead

But Jes­us take for all my need;

No right­eous­ness in me is found

Except up­on re­demp­tion ground.

Come

wea­ry soul

and here find rest;

Accept re­demp­tion

and be blest;

The Christ who died

by God is crowned

To par­don on re­demp­tion ground.
