Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim it!

Hymn lyrics by Fanny Crosby,

• Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
• Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
• Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
• His child and forever I am.

Chorus

• Redeemed, redeemed,
• Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
• Redeemed, redeemed,
• His child and forever I am.

Verse 2

• Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,
• No language my rapture can tell;
• I know that the light of His presence
• With me doth continually dwell.

Chorus

Verse 3

• I think of my blessed Redeemer,
• I think of Him all the day long:
• I sing, for I cannot be silent;
• His love is the theme of my song.

Verse 4¹

• I know there’s a crown that is waiting,
• In yonder bright mansion for me,
• And soon, with the spirits made perfect,
• At home with the Lord I shall be.

• I know I shall see in His beauty
• The King in whose law I delight,
• Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
• And giveth me songs in the night.
