83. The Great Redeemer

1 How I love the great Redeemer
Who is doing so much for me;
With what joy I tell the story
Of the love that makes men free.
Till my earthly life is ended,
I will send songs above,
Then beside the crystal sea
More and more my soul shall be
Praising Jesus and His love.

Refrain:
He is ev'rything to me, to me.
He is ev'rything to me,
And ev'rything shall always be;
I will never cease to raise
A song of gladness in His praise;
Here, and in the world above,
My soul shall sing of saving love;
Life and light and joy is He,
The precious Friend who died for me.

2 He has purchased my redemption,
Rolled my burden of sin away.
And is walking on beside me,
Growing dearer day by day.
That is why I sing His praises,
That is why joy is mine.
That is why forevermore
On the everlasting shore
I shall sing of love divine. [Refrain]

3 Glory be to Him forever!
Endless praises to Christ the Lamb!
He has filled my life with sunshine,
He has made me what I am.
O that ev'ryone would know Him,
O that all would adore!
O that all would trust the love
Of the mighty Friend above
And be His forevermore. [Refrain]
