404 Redeemed, restored, forgiven
1 Redeemed, restored, forgiven
Through Jesus' precious blood,
Heirs of His home in heaven,
Oh, praise our pardoning God!
Praise Him in tuneful measures,
Who gave His Son to die;
Praise Him whose sevenfold treasures,
Enrich and sanctify!
2 Once on the dreary mountain
We wandered far and wide,
Far from the cleansing fountain,
Far from the pierced side;
But Jesus sought and found us,
And washed our guilt away,
With cords of love He bound us
To be His own for aye.
3 Dear Master, Thine the glory
Of each recovered soul;
Ah! who can tell the story
Of love that made us whole?
Not ours, not ours the merit;
Be Thine alone the praise,
And ours a thankful spirit
To serve Thee all our days.
4 Now keep us, holy Savior,
In Thy true love and fear,
And grant us of Thy favor
The grace to persevere,
Till, in Thy new creation,
Earth's time-long travail o'er,
We find our full salvation,
And praise Thee evermore.
