16. I Redeemed Thee

1 I redeemed thee, saith the Lord;
Oh, that voice of love profound!
Angel choirs in wonder heard,
Listening ages caught the sound.

Refrain:
Sweetest words that ever came
From the lips of truth divine,
“I have called thee by thy name,
I redeemed thee, thou art mine.”

2 I redeemed thee, saith the Lord,
Echoes from the prophet’s tongue;
Man through grace shall be restored,
Trusting Faith believed and sung. [Refrain]

3 I redeemed thee, saith the Lord;
Lo! the mighty work is done!
Now fulfiled Jehovah’s word
In the gift of Christ his Son. [Refrain]

4 I redeemed thee, saith the Lord;
Come and worship at his throne;
Come, proclaim with one accord,
We are his and not our own. [Refrain]
