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.

Refrain:
Believe it, O sinner, believe it;
Receive the glad message— 'tis true;
Trust now in the crucified Saviour,
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,
Tho' present to tempt and annoy;
For Christ, in His blessed 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.
