Redeemed, Restored, Forgiven

Henry W. Baker (1876) • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 15:24

Verse 1

Redeemed, restored, forgiven Through Jesus' precious blood, Heirs of His home in heaven Oh, praise our pard'ning God! Praise Him in tuneful measures Who gave His Son to die; Praise Him whose sev'nfold treasures Enrich and sanctify.

Verse 2

Once on the dreary mountain We wandered far and wide, Far from the cleansing fountain, Far from the pierced side. But Jesus sought and found us; Our many sins He bore. With cords of love He bound us To Him forevermore.

Verse 3

Dear Master, Yours the glory Of each recovered soul. Ah, who can tell the story Of love that made us whole? Not ours, not ours the merit; To You alone the praise! Give us a thankful spirit To serve You all our days.

Verse 4

Now keep us, holy Savior, In Your true love and fear, And grant us by Your favor The grace to persevere Till, in Your new creation, Our earthly troubles o'er, Heirs of Your free salvation, We praise You evermore.
