Redeemd Restored Forgiven
MUNICH-Meiningisches Gesangbuch, 1693
Redeem'd, Restored, Forgiven
}
Redeem'd, restored, forgiven
Through Jesus' precious Blood,
Heirs of His home in Heaven,
O praise our pardoning God!
Praise Him in tuneful measures,
Who gave His Son to die;
Praise Him Whose sevenfold treasures
Enrich and sanctify!
Once on the dreary mountain
We wander'd far and wide,
Far from the cleansing Fountain,
Far from the pierced Side;
But Jesus sought and found us,
And wash'd our guilt away;
With cords of love He bound us
To be His own for aye.
Dear Master, Thine the glory
Of each recover'd soul;
Ah! who can tell the story
Of love that made us whole?
Not ours, not ours the merit;
Be Thine alone the praise,
And ours a thankful spirit
To serve Thee all our days.
Now keep us, Holy Saviour,
In Thy true love and fear;
And grant us of Thy favour
The grace to persevere;
Till, in Thy new creation,
Earth's time-long travail o'er,
We find our full salvation,
And praise Thee evermore.
