1. 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.

Chorus:
Believe it, O sinner, believe it,
Receive the glad message-'tis true;
Trust now in the crucified Saviour
Salvation he offers to you.

2. From death unto life He hath brought us
And made us by grace Sons of God;
A fountain is opened for sinners;
Oh, wash and be cleans'd in the blood.

3. No longer shall sin have dominion,
Though present to tempt and annoy;
For Christ , in His blessed redemption,
The power of sin shall destroy.

4. Accept now God's offer of mercy;
To Jesus, oh, hasten today;
For He will received him that cometh,
And never will turn him away.
