Jesus, Redeemer

Representative Text

1 Jesus, Redeemer, coming from glory,
Down to this earth to seek out the lost,
Shedding his blood to purchase our pardon;
O what a purchase! great was the cost!

Refrain:
Jesus, Redeemer, Jesus, anointed;
He hath redeemed my soul from the grave,
Jesus exalted, righteous and holy,
Jesus Messiah; the mighty to save.

2 Jesus, Redeemer, when I behold thee,
Dying in anguish there on the tree,
Then is my heart so touched with emotion
While I remember, this was for me! [Refrain]

3 Jesus, Redeemer, I would adore thee;
I would lift up my voice in thy name,
I would proclaim with joy the glad tidings,
Heralding forth his honor and fame. [Refrain]

4 Jesus, Redeemer, mansions preparing;
Soon he will come in glory again;
When he shall take us with him to heaven,
There in his kingdom ever to reign. [Refrain]

Hall, Jane E., of Battleborough, Vermont, has in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 18S1, under the initials "J. E. H.," (1) "The love that Jesus had for me" (Love of Jesus); (2) "We shall have a new name in that land" (The New Name). The music in Sankey to these hymns is also by the same person. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)  Go to person page >
