The ransomed of the Lord Shall unto Zion come

Verse 1

The ransom'd of the Lord Shall unto Zion come; A faithful, loving God Will surely bring them home; He gave his life a ransom-price And Zion shall in him rejoice.

Verse 2

The promise of the Lord Shall stand for ever good, And Zion shall record The wonders of his love. Redemption’s glorious work is done; The ransomed shall to Zion come.

Verse 3

The Holy, Wise, and Just, His Well-Beloved gave; And shall the man be cursed That Jesus came to save? Shall sin and Satan Jesus cheat, Or prove the ransom incomplete?

Verse 4

O vanity extreme! And base that heart must be Whose tongue can dare proclaim The ransomed damned shall be. The debt is paid; the victory won; The ransomed shall to Zion come.

Verse 5

They shall rejoice in him, And in him they shall boast; He saves from wrath and sin, From guilt, law, and the curse. To Zion they shall all be led, And joy shall rest upon their head.

Verse 6

’Tis no uncertain sound The gospel-trumpet gives; The church in Christ is found, And by and in him lives; While Jesus lives to bring them home, The ransomed shall to Zion come.
