Classic Poem

Oh, I have found him who only gives rest,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
Fairer than angels, the brightest and best,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
Down from above he has come to my soul,
Healing and cleansing and making me whole,
Saying all burdens on him I may roll,
Blessed Redeemer is he.
Now ev'ry day he is saying to me,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
Trust me for all and from care be thou free,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
I have redeem'd thee and ne'er will forsake,
Strong to deliver when all is at stake,
Ne'er with the faithful my promise I break,
Blessed Redeemer is he.
Oh! now I love him, but I would love more,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
Down at his feet I would cast all my store,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
Follow wherever his footsteps I see,
Fully content his disciple to be,
Telling the world how this Jesus loves me,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
Glory to God I will sing day and night,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
Washed in the blood, he has made me all white,
Blessed Redeemer is he;
Ready to walk on the streets paved with gold,
When Jesus calls me to that upper fold,
Oh! with what rapture his face I'll behold,
Blessed Redeemer is he

Blessed is he, …
Love … set me free, …
Wonderful, wonderful!
Blessed is he!
Blessed Redeemer, once dying for me,
Loving the sinner,—
Oh! how could it be?
Wonderful love, wonderful love,
Blessed Redeemer is he!
