1. O, my Lord Jesus Christ!
By grace I am apprised
Of gifts esteemed;
Filled with the Holy Ghost,
Among Thy chosen host,
I may now take my post,
Ever redeemed!
2. O, this redemption bond,
It goes so far beyond
My carnal view.
Thy merciful nature
Forever will endure,
And Thy word doth assure
Thy promise true.
3. As Jesus died for me
And in the grave did lie
So I the same,
Immersed and buried there,
I’m resurrected where
I no more death shall share.
Praised be His name!
4. The body that believes,
Thy Son as head receives
In union strong;
So I, the scornful one,
This membership have won,
Since to the blessed Son
I now belong.
5. Thy grace so rich and free,
To me in high degree
Thou dost unfold;
Thou only, great and strong,
Couldst break the dreadful thong,
And draw from Satan’s throng
Into Thy fold.
6. Therefore my voice I’ll raise
In glad and joyous praise
Now on this shore,
And then in chorus clear
I’ll sing Thy praises near,
O Lord, to Thy blest ear
Forevermore.
