He Ransomed Me

Verse 1

There’s a sweet and blessed story Of the Christ who came from glory Just to rescue me from sin and misery; He in loving-kindness sought me And from sin and shame hath brought me - Hallelujah! Jesus ransomed me.

Chorus

Hallelujah! what a Savior Who can take a poor, lost sinner, Lift him from the miry clay and set me free! I will ever tell the story, Shouting, "Glory, glory, glory!" Hallelujah! Jesus lifted me.

Verse 2

From the depth of sin and sadness To the heights of joy and gladness Jesus lifted me in mercy full and free; With His precious blood He bought me, When I knew Him not He sought me, And in love divine He ransomed me.

Verse 3

By and by with joy increasing And with gratitude unceasing, Lifted up to be with Christ eternally, I will join the hosts there singing, In the anthem ever ringing, To the King of Love who ransomed me.
