Sunday's Hymn: Reader's Choice

Neil chose this hymn from the Believers Hymn Book. He kindly left all the words for us, assuming it was not well-known. I think he might be right, since I’m not familiar with it. Are you?

My Redeemer

My Redeemer, oh, what beauties
In that lovely name appear;
None but Jesus in His glories
Shall the honored title wear.
My Redeemer, my Redeemer,
Thou hast my salvation wrought.

Sunk in ruin, sin, and mis’ry,
Bound by Satan’s captive chain,
Guided by his artful treach’ry,
Hurrying on to endless pain,
My Redeemer, my Redeemer,
Plucked me as a brand from hell.

Mine by cov’nant, mine forever,
Mine by oath, and mine by blood;
Mine— nor time the bond shall sever,
Mine as an unchanging God.
My Redeemer, my Redeemer,
Oh, how sweet to call Thee mine!

When in heav’n I see Thy glory,
When before Thy throne I bow,
Perfected I shall be like Thee,
Fully Thy redemption know.
My Redeemer, my Redeemer,
Then shall hear me shout His praise.

—-Author unknown. Tune: Regent Square (Listen.)
