Author: Miss J. H. Johnston Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 2 #53 (1890) First Line: I know the Redeemer is mighty Lyrics: 1 I know the Redeemer is mighty, His grace and His mercy are free; When I was a stranger He sought me, He came, in His mercy to me. 2 For pardon, for peace, and for cleansing, I bring but His Name as my plea; His blood hath atoned for the sinner, That fountain was opened for me. 3 His grace will avail for the lowest, And all who will trust Him will see How great is the love of the Savior, Who ransomed as sinner like me. 4 The wonderful gift of salvation, I know He will give unto thee; He longs in His love to bestow it, I know—for He gave it to me. 5 His servants at last shall behold Him; O gracious and royal decree! To you is the glad invitation, Come, trust Him, and meet Him with me Languages: English Tune Title: [I know the Redeemer is mighty]
