108. He Redeemed Me

1 Would you know why Christ, my Savior,
Is my constant theme and song?
Why to seek his loving favor
Is my joy the whole day long?

Refrain:
He redeemed me, He redeemed me,
How the ransomed choir repeat it o’er and o’er!
He redeemed me, He redeemed me,
Glory, glory be to him for evermore.

2 Oh, the days are full of gladness
That I spend in his employ;
I can banish care and sadness
In that song of heavenly joy. [Refrain]

3 Come, beloved, bow before him,
Seek the pardon of your King,
That on earth you may adore him,
And with saints in glory sing. [Refrain]
