About this Hymn
The words of this hymn resound with a gratitude so overwhelming that the writer says, "I sing, for I cannot be silent." The natural response to the work of God among his people is praise, as when the Pharisees sought to hush Jesus' followers, but Jesus replied, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out" (Luke 19:40).
Lyrics
Verse 1
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; redeemed through his infinite mercy, his child, and forever, I am.
Chorus
Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; redeemed, redeemed, his child, and forever, I am.
Verse 2
Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus, no language my rapture can tell; I know that the light of his presence with me doth continually dwell.
Verse 3
I think of my blessed Redeemer, I think of him all the day long; I sing, for I cannot be silent; his love is the theme of my song.
Verse 4
I know I shall see in his beauty the King in whose law I delight; who lovingly guardeth my footsteps and giveth me songs in the night.
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; redeemed through his infinite mercy, his child, and forever, I am.
Chorus
Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; redeemed, redeemed, his child, and forever, I am.
