Blessed Redeemer
1 Up Calv’ry’s mountain one dreadful morn Walked Christ, my Savior, weary and worn; Facing for sinners death on the cross, That He might save them from endless loss. Refrain: Blessed Redeemer! Precious Redeemer! Seems I now see Him on Calvary’s tree; Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading, Blind and unheeding, dying for me! 2 “Father forgive them,” thus did He pray, E’en while His lifeblood flowed fast away. Praying for sinners while in such woe, No one but Jesus ever loved so! [Refrain] 3 O how I love Him, Savior and Friend! How can my praises ever find end? Thro' years unnumbered on heaven’s shore, My tongue shall praise Him forevermore. [Refrain]
