Blessed Redeemer
Words Christiansen, Tune Harry Dixon
D A7
Up Calv’ry’s
mountain, one dreadful morn,
D
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn;
G
Facing for sinners death on the cross,
D A7 D
That He might
save them from endless loss.
CHORUS
G D
Blessed Redeemer! Precious Redeemer!
A
E7 A A7
Seems I now see
Him on Calvary’s tree;
D G
Wounded and
bleeding, for sinners pleading,
D A7 D
Blind and
unheeding—dying
for me!
D A7
“Father forgive them!” thus did He pray,
D
E’en while His lifeblood
flowed fast away;
G
Praying for sinners while in such woe—
D A7 D
No one but Jesus
ever loved so.
CHORUS
D A7
Oh, how I love
Him, Savior and Friend,
D
How can my
praises ever find end!
G
Through years unnumbered on heaven’s shore,
D A7 D
My tongue shall praise Him forevermore.
