The Helper in Sacred Song ‎#22

22. Strong to Redeem

1 Strong to redeem is the Lord who hath made me,
Mighty to save is the crucified One;
He by His love freely giv’n hath redeem’d me,
Tell, oh, my soul, what great things He hath done.

Refrain:
Strong to redeem, strong to redeem,
Mighty to save is the Crucified One;
Tell, oh! my soul, what great things He hath done.

2 He from the depths heard the voice of my calling;
Saw my distress in the pit and the clay;
Pitied my sorrows, and answered my pleadings,
Lifted me up to the glory of day. [Refrain]

3 Safe on the Rock He hath founded my goings;
Fixed the foundation immutably strong,
Wakened my spirit to thankful outpourings,
Opened my lips to the rapture of song. [Refrain]

4 Many shall see where the Saviour hath brought me,
Rescued by grace and renewed by His word;
Many shall hear of the blood that hath bought me;
Many shall love, and shall trust in the Lord. [Refrain]
