Thee, O my great Deliverer, Thee

Verse 1
Thee, O my great Deliverer, thee
My ransom I adore:
Thy death from hell hath set me free,
And I am damn’d no more.

Verse 2
In thee I sure redemption have,
The pardon of my sin;
Thy blood I find mighty to save;
Thy blood hath made me clean.

Verse 3
I feel the power of Jesu’s name,
It breaks the captive’s chain;
And men oppose, and fiends exclaim,
And sin subsists in vain.

Verse 4
Redeem’d from sin, its guilt, and power
My soul in faith defies:
But O! I wait the welcome hour,
When this frail body dies.

Verse 5
Come thou, my dear Redeemer, come,
Let me my life resign,
O take thy ransom’d servant home,
And make me wholly thine.

Verse 6
Fully redeem’d I fain would rise
In soul and body free,
And mount to meet thee in the skies,
And ever reign with thee.
