THE SONG OF THE RANSOMED
V1
There’s an echo of hope from a hill far away
A rising crescendo from one empty grave
And the soul-stirring cry of those who were slaves
Walking in freedom away from their chains
Chorus
It’s the song of the ransomed lifted in victory
The song of the ransomed forever redeemed
Oh hallelujah Jesus has saved us
This is the song that the ransomed sing
V2
Hear the hymn breaking forth from those who were lost
A glorious anthem that tells of the cross
For the curse is no more, our debt has been paid
Hear the forgiven, "Let Jesus be praised"
Chorus
Bridge
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Chorus
