Cântăre Blessed redeemer! precious 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.



R: 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.



3. Oh, how I love Him, Savior and Friend,

How can my praises ever find end!

Through years unnumbered on heaven’s shore,

My tongue shall praise Him forevermore.
