Tune: | [I am redeem'd, O wonderful love] |
Composer: | G. W. Sederquist |
1 I am redeem'd, O wonderful love;
'Twas love that bro't my pardon;
By him who came the sinner to save,
Who suffered in the garden.
Chorus:
O, it was love, 'twas wonderful love;
He who purchased my pardon:
Praying in sorrow, shedding his blood,
Jesus alone in the garden.
2 Laden with anguish, smitten with grief;
He entered in the garden,
Praying in sorrow, shedding his blood,
The blood that seals our pardon. [Chorus]
3 "Let this cup pass, my Father," he pray'd;
"I suffer in submission,
Drink it I will, thy law to fulfil,
That man may have remission. [Chorus]
4 "Could you not watch one hour with me?"
The Saviour said, in sorrow,
"Behold! I go, 'tis written of me,
To die for man tomorrow." [Chorus]
4 Free from the law thro' Jesus the Lamb,
Who died on Calvary's mountain,
Shedding his blood so freely for all,
The only cleansing fountain. [Chorus]
