1 | How wonderful redemption is, |
| | My gracious Lord, in Thee! |
| Not seen, nor heard, nor eer conceived |
| | What Thou hast done for me! |
| Thou art divine, mysterious, |
| | Beyond my grandest phrase! |
| Redemption is so marvellous, |
| | Beyond all powr to praise! |
2 | For us Thou on the Cross wast pierced, |
| | And blood and water streamed; |
| That life divine be givn to us, |
| | That we may be redeemed. |
| Thy precious blood has made us clean, |
| | That we accepted be; |
| Regenerated by Thy life, |
| | We now are one with Thee. |
3 | Thou art the grain divine that died |
| | The many grains to bear, |
| Which, blent and formed, Thy Body are. |
| | And all Thy nature share. |
| We are the increase of Thyself, |
| | And Thou our content art; |
| Through us Thou livest and dost move |
| | And manifested art. |
4 | Since were Thy Body, Thou may come |
| | And settle down in us; |
| In us Thou may obtain Thy home |
| | And we become Thy trust. |
| Thy heart to satisfy and please, |
| | We are Thy counterpart, |
| Now in one Body with Thyself, |
| | Enjoying all Thou art. |
5 | While in remembrance now we meet |
| | And here the symbols see, |
| For Thy redemption great and full |
| | Were filled with praise to Thee. |
| Since we are made Thy Body, Lord, |
| | Thy dwelling place and bride, |
| We would give thanks and worship Thee |
| | And in Thy praise abide. |
