My Redeemer!

I will sing of my Redeemer!
Oh, the marvel of His grace!
Very God, He left His splendor,
Took the guilty sinner's place.

All the majesty and glory
Which were His, He laid aside,
In the garb of our humanity-
'Twas for you He lived and died.

When you think upon His passion
Is your sluggish soul not stirred?
He should have your adoration-
He, your high, most holy Lord!

Glorify, exalt, extol Him!
Worship Him, His will obey,
Praise Him for complete salvation,
Yield your life to Him for aye.

E. W. Carlile
