52. Redeemed, Praise the Lord

1 O happy day! what a Saviour is mine!
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
All to his pleasure I gladly resign,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Jesus has taken my burden away;
Jesus has turned all my night into day;
Jesus has come to my heart,—come to stay,—
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
O happy day! what a Saviour is mine!
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
All to his pleasure I gladly resign,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!

2 O clap your hands, all ye people of God,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Let ev’ry tongue speak his mercy abroad,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
His loving kindness is better than gold;
He doth bestow more than my cup can hold;
Wondrous Salvation, that ne’er can be told—
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
O clap your hands, all ye people of God,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Let ev’ry tongue speak his mercy abroad,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!

3 Thanks be to God for the great vict’ry given,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Now I am free; ev’ry chain has been riven,—
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Out of the pit, and the mire, and the clay,
Jesus has borne me in triumph away;
Safe on the rock I am standing today,—
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Thanks be to God for the great vict’ry given,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Now I am free; ev’ry chain has been riven,—
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!

4 Glory to God, I would shout evermore,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
O for a voice that could reach ev’ry shore,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Help me, ye ransomed, awake, ev’ry string,
Let earth rejoice and the whole heavens ring,
While we the chorus unitedly sing,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
Glory to God, I would shout evermore,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
O for a voice that could reach ev’ry shore,
I am redeemed, praise the Lord!
