Christ Our Redemption. [1 Corinthians 1:30] Source: Hymns and Sacred Poems (1740), Part I Author: Charles Wesley (attributed) --- My inward holiness thou art, For faith hath made thee mine: With all thy fulness fill my heart, Till all I am is thine! Christ Our Redemption. [1 Corinthians i. 30.] 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. In thee I sure redemption have, The pardon of my sin; Thy blood I find mighty to save; Thy blood hath made me clean. 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. 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.
