About this Hymn
Melody Green wrote the first two verses of this song, and her husband, singer-songwriter Keith Green, added a third and recorded it on his album Songs for the Shepherd (1982). Keith's verse about meeting his Redeemer and serving him forever was fulfilled much sooner than either of them expected; he and two of their children perished in a plane crash five years later.

There is a Redeemer, Jesus, God's own Son; precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Holy One.

Thank you, O my Father, for giving us your Son, and leaving your Spirit till the work on earth is done.
Verse 2
Jesus, my Redeemer, name above all names; precious Lamb of God, Messiah, hope for sinners slain.

When I stand in glory, I will see his face; there I'll serve my King forever in that holy place.
