The Great Redeemer
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 songs above,
Then beside the crystal sea
More and more my soul shall be
Praising Jesus and His love.
1-9

Rolled my burden of sin away,

Growing dearer day by day.

On the everlasting shore
I shall sing of love divine.
