Redemption (Sayford)

Redemption! oh

won­der­ful story—

Glad mes­sage for you and for me;

That Je­sus has pur­chased our par­don

And paid all the debt on the tree.

Believe it

O sin­ner

be­lieve it;

Receive the glad mes­sage—’tis true;

Trust now in the cru­ci­fied Sav­ior

Salvation He of­fers to you.

From death un­to life He has brought us

And made us by grace sons of God;

A fount­ain is op­ened for sin­ners;

Oh

wash and be cleansed in the blood!

No long­er shall sin have do­min­ion

Though pre­sent to tempt and an­noy;

For Christ

in His bless­èd re­demp­tion

The pow­er of sin shall de­stroy.

Accept now God’s of­fer of mer­cy;

To Je­sus

oh hast­en to­day;

For He will re­ceive him that com­eth

And nev­er will turn him away.
