Hymn 127 HE RANSOMED ME Lyrics

1. There’s a sweet and blessed story
Of the Christ who came from glory
Just to rescue me from sin and misery,
He in loving kindness sought me
And from sin and shame hath brot me,
Hallelujah Jesus ransomed me

Chorus:
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!
Who can take a poor lost sinner.
Lift him from the miry clay and set him free:
(Hallelujah) I will ever tell the story
Shouting glory, Hallelujah!
Jesus ransomed me.

2. From the depth of sin and sadness
To the height of joy and gladness
Jesus lifted me, in mercy full and free;
With His precious blood He bo’t me,
When I knew Him not, He sought me,
And in love divine here below

3. From the throne of heavenly glory
Oh the sweet and blessed story!
Jesus came to lift the lost in sin and woe
Into Liberty all glorious
Trophies of His grace victorious,
Evermore rejoicing here below

4. By and by with joy increasing.
And with gratitude unceasing
Lifted up with Christ forevermore to be,
I will join hosts there singing.
In the anthem ever ringing.
To the King of Love who ransomed me
