Classic Poem

Redeemed from death! redeemed from sin!
Redeemed from ills without, within!
Redeemed! what new light gilds the skies!
What glories on the soul arise!

Glory to Him whose love unknown
Reached man's abyss from Heaven's high throne;
Like some new star its radiance beamed,
A new key rang,—redeemed! redeemed!

As ocean's billows swell and break,
The mighty tide of praise shall wake;
Thy love, Lord, like the unmeasured sea,
Shall waft a world, redeemed, to Thee.

Redeemed! creation, joyful, brings
Its tribute to the King of kings;
Redeemed! earth's million voices raise
One sounding anthem to His praise.
