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.
chorus:
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.
About the auther:
A shocking train accident caused the untimely death of Philip P. Bliss when he was only thirty-eight years of age. He had visited his old childhood home in Rome, Pennsylvania, at Christmas time in 1876, and returning to Chicago in company with his wife when a railroad bridge near Ashtabula, Ohio, collapsed. The train plunged into a ravine, sixty feet below, where it caught fire, and one hundred passengers perished miserably. Bliss survived the fall, and escaped through a window. However, he returned to the wreckage in an attempt to rescue his wife and in so doing perished with her in the fire. This hymn text was found in his trunk
