Tune: Repton
(\'Dear Lord and Father of mankind\')
1 Peter 1 v.18-21
The last line of each verse is repeated.
********
We redeemed by the precious blood
Of Christ, a cleansing flood
As of a lamb without blemish
He meets true freedom\'s every wish
His presence we relish (x2)
No blemish, no spot, perfectly
A whole offering He be
Sacrifice sufficient for me
And for all who look and see
Receive salvation free (x2)
For truly He was foreordained
Prophets of old explained
Before foundations of world laid
He the one who our sins allayed
God\'s plan, He our price paid (x2)
He shown here, the last days it be
He shown for you and me
By Him we do in God believe
And His eternal life receive
True life with no deceive (x2)
For God did raise Christ from the dead
He now our living Head
God gave Him glory, and too we
That our faith, hope, in God it be
Reaching e\'en you and me (x2)
