How wonderful redemption is,
My gracious Lord, in Thee!
Not seen, nor heard,
nor e’er conceived
What Thou hast done for me!
Thou art divine, mysterious,
Beyond my grandest phrase!
Redemption is so marvellous,
Beyond all pow’r to praise!
For us Thou on the Cross
wast pierced,
And blood and water streamed;
That life divine be giv’n to us,
That we may be redeemed.
Thy precious blood
has made us clean,
That we accepted be;
Regenerated by Thy life,
We now are one with Thee.
Thou art the grain divine that died
The many grains to bear,
Which, blent and formed,
Thy Body are.
And all Thy nature share.
We are the increase of Thyself,
And Thou our content art;
Through us Thou livest
and dost move
And manifested art.
Since we’re Thy Body,
Thou may come
And settle down in us;
In us Thou may obtain Thy home
And we become Thy trust.
Thy heart to satisfy and please,
We are Thy counterpart,
Now in one Body with Thyself,
Enjoying all Thou art.
While in remembrance
now we meet
And here the symbols see,
For Thy redemption great and full
We’re filled with praise to Thee.
Since we are made Thy Body, Lord,
Thy dwelling place and bride,
We would give thanks
and worship Thee
And in Thy praise abide.
