Ransomed sinners, sing the praises,
Of your dear redeeming God:
Hymn, with joy, the holy Jesus,
Who hath purchased you with blood
Dwell on this delightful theme,
Shout the dear Immanuel's name.
He the pow'rful word hath spoken,
“I redeemed them—mine they are,”
With that word the snare is broken,
Satan struck with panic fear!
This is glorious liberty;
Christ the Son hath made us free.
For this wonderful compassion,
(Far surpassing human thought,)
Let us praise, with exultation,
Him who our salvation wrought!
Jesus, full of truth and grace,
Worthy thou of all our praise.
O that worldlings knew our pleasure!
While we walk in Christ the way:
We possess an heavenly treasure,
In an earthly house of clay!
But, what bliss before us lies!
Though 'tis veiled beyond the skies.
Hark! while angel-choirs are bringing
Rapt'rous praises round the throne!
Let us come to Zion singing:
Their and our delights are one!
Grateful songs our mutual mirth—
They in heaven, and we on earth.
