With His Blood He Purchased Me
The hymn "I Will Sing of My Redeemer," was found in a piece of baggage
rescued from a fiery train wreck on the day of December 20, 1876. The
author, 38 year old Philip P. Bliss, had been traveling with his wife to
Chicago to help in the D. L. Moody Tabernacle service. In Ohio, a bridge
collapsed and the train plunged into an icy river bed. It is said that
Bliss survived the fall and climbed out through a coach window only to
return, looking for his wife. Reunited, they died together in the flaming
wreckage. This hymn is a very simple expression of the truth of the Gospel.

I Will Sing of My Redeemer
I will sing of my Redeemer and his wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered, from the curse to set me free.
Refrain:
Sing, oh, sing of my redeemer, with His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free.
I will tell the wondrous story, how my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy, He the ransom freely gave.
Refrain:
Sing, oh, sing of my redeemer, with His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free.
I will praise my dear Redeemer, His triumphant power I'll tell,
How the victory He giveth over sin, and death, and heck.
Refrain:
Sing, oh, sing of my redeemer, with His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free.
I will sing of my Redeemer and His heavenly love for me;
He from death to life hath brought me, Son of God, with Him to be.
Refrain:
Sing, oh, sing of my redeemer, with His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon, paid the debt, and made me free.
