Jesus Christ, the Redeemer

1 In mine own flesh I see
My dear Redeemer, God:
And in that body he
Redeem'd me by his blood:
Made one, no more to part again,
With him I ever shall remain.

2 Bone of his bone I am,
And evermore shall be;
One great immortal name
Is nam'd on him and me:
In him, complete, I now possess
The fulness of redeeming grace.

3 When from his pierced side
Came forth, in bleeding love,
His lov'd, his royal bride,
The life divine to prove;
To her this sacred truth he seal'd,
That all her maladies were heal'd.

4 What tho' I mortal am,
And shall to dust return:
In the prevailing Lamb
I unto God am born:
In him I live above all fear,
Nor sin, nor death, can reach me there.
