About this Hymn
Philip P. Bliss and his wife, Lucy, were killed in a horrific train derailment in 1876, leaving behind a legacy of uplifting gospel songs, including these words in manuscript, which were set to music and published the following year by his colleague James McGranahan. As an evangelistic singer, he embodied the message of this hymn, and today we share this conviction to sing of our loving Redeemer.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I will sing of my Redeemer and his wondrous love to me; on the cruel cross he suffered, from the curse to set me free.
Chorus
Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer! With his blood he purchased me; on the cross he sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free.
Verse 2
I will tell the wondrous story, how my lost estate to save, in his boundless love and mercy, he the ransom freely gave.
Verse 3
I will praise my dear Redeemer, his triumphant pow'r I'll tell: how the victory he gives me over sin and death and hell.
Verse 4
I will sing of my Redeemer and his heav'nly love for me; he from death to life has brought me, Son of God, with him to be.
I will sing of my Redeemer and his wondrous love to me; on the cruel cross he suffered, from the curse to set me free.
