The Finest of the Wheat No. 2 ‎#120

120. I’ve been Redeemed

1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;
A token of His love He gives—
A pledge of liberty.

Refrain:
I’ve been redeemed,
I’ve been redeemed,
I’m washed in the blood of the Lamb;
I’ve been redeemed.

2 My Savior lifteth up my head,
He brings salvation near;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear. [Refrain]

3 He wills that I should holy be!
What can withstand His will?
The counsel of His grace in me
He surely shall fulfill. [Refrain]

4 Jesus, I hang upon Thy word;
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord,
And to Thyself receive. [Refrain]

5 Since God is mine and I am His,
Of paradise possess’d,
I taste unutterable bliss
And everlasting rest. [Refrain]
