82. Redemption Is Free

1 Behold on yon cross, upon Calvary’s side,
The Saviour of sinners for us crucified;
O wonder of wonders, the Innocent died
A ransom for you and for me.

Refrain:
Dying for you,
Dying for me,
He purchased redemption on Calvary’s tree,
And to all, this redemption is free.

2 Descending to earth, from His glory on high,
The King of all kings unto sinners came nigh,
In pity and love, from His throne in the sky,
Our Lord and Redeemer to be. [Refrain]

3 He carried the load of our sorrow and sin,
To all of life’s pain, by His love entered in,
Enduring the cross our salvation to win,
That pardon and peace might be free. [Refrain]

4 He suffered and died, and He slept with the dead,
But Jesus our Lord is alive, as He said;
Ascended above, as our great Living Head,
He prayeth for you and for me. [Refrain]
