Redemption

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Ephesians 1:7

Verse 1

O wonderful words of the gospel! O wonderful message they bring, Proclaiming a blessed redemption Thro’ Jesus our Saviour and king.

Chorus

Believe, oh, believe in His mercy That flows like a fountain so free; Believe, and receive the redemption He offers to you and to me.

Verse 2

He came from the throne of His glory, And left the bright mansions above, The world to redeem from its bondage; So great His compassion and love.

Chorus

Believe, oh, believe in His mercy That flows like a fountain so free; Believe, and receive the redemption He offers to you and to me.

Verse 3

O come to this wonderful Saviour, Come weary and sorrow-oppressed; Behold on the cross how He suffered, That you in His kingdom might rest.

Chorus

Believe, oh, believe in His mercy That flows like a fountain so free; Believe, and receive the redemption He offers to you and to me.

Verse 4

There’s no other refuge but Jesus, No shelter where lost ones may fly; And now, while He’s tenderly calling: O “turn ye,” “for why will ye die?”

Chorus

Believe, oh, believe in His mercy That flows like a fountain so free; Believe, and receive the redemption He offers to you and to me.
