Hymn 468 THE GREAT REDEEMER Lyrics

1. How I love the great Redeemer,
Who is doing so much for me;
With what joy I tell the story
of the love that makes men free.
Till my earthly life is ended,
I will send song above,
Then beside the crystal see
More and more my soul shall be,
Praising Jesus and His love.

Chorus:
He is ev’rything to me,
He is He is ev’rything to me.
And ev’rything shall always be;
I will never cease to raise
A song of gladness in His praise;
Here and in the world above.
My soul shall sing of saving love;
Life and light and joy is He,
The precious Friend who died for me.

2. He has purchased my redemption,
Rolled my burden of sin away,
And is walking on beside me,
Growing dearer day by day.
That is why I sing His praise
That is why Joy is mine,
That is why forever more
on the everlasting shore,
I shall sing of love divine

3. Glory be to Him forever!
Endless praises to Christ the Lamb!
He has filed my life with sunshine,
He has made me what I am.
O that ev’ry one would know Him,
O that all would adore!
O that all would trust the love of the mighty
Friend above and be His forevermore.
