VERSE 1
There's a sweet and bless-ed sto-ry
Of the Christ who came from glo-ry,
Just to res-cue me from sin and mi-se-ry;
He in lov-ing kindness sought me,
And from sin and shame hath brought me,
Hal-le-lu-jah! Jesus ran-somed me.
CHORUS
Hal-le-lu-jah! What a Saviour!
Who can take a poor lost sinner,
Lift him from the mi-ry clay and set him free (Hal-le-lu-jah)
I will e-ver tell the story,
Shouting glo-ry, glo-ry, glo-ry,
Hal-le-lu-jah! Jesus ran-somed me.
VERSE 2
From the depth of sin and sadness
To the heights of joy and gladness,
Je-sus lift-ed me, in mer-cy full and free;
With His precious blood He bought me,
When I knew Him not, He sought me,
And in love di-vine He ransomed me.
CHORUS
Hal-le-lu-jah! What a Saviour!
Who can take a poor lost sinner,
Lift him from the mi-ry clay and set him free (Hal-le-lu-jah)
I will e-ver tell the story,
Shouting glo-ry, glo-ry, glo-ry,
Hal-le-lu-jah! Jesus ran-somed me.
VERSE 3
From the throne of heav'nly glory,
Oh, the sweet and blessed story!
Je-sus came to lift the lost in sin and woe
In-to li-ber-ty all glorious,
Tro-phies of His grace victorious,
E-ver-more re-joic-ing here be-low.
CHORUS
Hal-le-lu-jah! What a Saviour!
Who can take a poor lost sinner,
Lift him from the mi-ry clay and set him free (Hal-le-lu-jah)
I will e-ver tell the story,
Shouting glo-ry, glo-ry, glo-ry,
Hal-le-lu-jah! Jesus ran-somed me.
VERSE 4
By and by with joy in-creasing,
And with gra-ti-tude un-ceas-ing,
Lifted up with Christ for e-ver more to be;
I will join the host there singing,
In the an-them e-ver ring-ing,
To the King of love who ransomed me.
CHORUS
Hal-le-lu-jah! What a Saviour!
Who can take a poor lost sinner,
Lift him from the mi-ry clay and set him free (Hal-le-lu-jah)
I will e-ver tell the story,
Shouting glo-ry, glo-ry, glo-ry,
Hal-le-lu-jah! Jesus ran-somed me.
