I have redeemed thee... thou art Mine.-Is. xliii. 1.

mf 1 WHEN I had wandered from His fold,

His love the wanderer sought;

When slave-like into bondage sold,
His blood my freedom bought :

f Therefore that life, by Him redeemed,
Is His through all its days,

And as with blessings it hath teemed,
So let it teem with praise:

For I am His, and He is mine,

The God whom I adore;
My Father, Saviour, Comforter,
Now and for evermore.
