Hymn written by J. Swain |
|
-
Praise your Redeemer, praise His name,
Ye saints who live upon His grace;
Praise Him, whose love remains the same
Through ev'ry change of time and place.
|
-
Praise Him who opens mercy's door,
To welcome every seeking soul;
Who gives salvation to the poor,
And makes the wounded conscience whole.
|
-
Praise Him who came from heaven to bring
Glad tidings of salvation down;
Praise Him for you have cause to sing,
Who hope for an immortal crown
|
-
Praise Him who loved you when you lay
In bondage under Satan's power;
Who died your ransom-price to pay,
And spoiled your foes in that same hour.
|
-
Praise Him who loved you on the cross,
Praise Him who loves you on His throne;
Praise Him who turns to gain your loss,
And makes your crosses prove your crown.
|
-
Praise Him who loved you long before
The wheels of time began to move:
Whose love, when time shall be no more,
Will still be everlasting love.
