Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A 19th-century gospel hymn by D. W. Whittle celebrating the believer's standing before God through Christ's atoning blood. It uses the vivid metaphor of 'redemption ground' — a place of peace and wonder where the forgiven soul rests secure.
Verse 1
Come sing, my soul, and praise the Lord,
Who hath redeemed thee by His blood;
Delivered thee from chains that bound,
And brought thee to redemption ground.
Chorus
Redemption ground, the ground of peace!
Redemption ground, O wondrous grace!
Here let our praise to God abound,
Who saves us on redemption ground!
Verse 2
Once from my God I wandered far,
And with His holy will made war;
But now my songs to God abound:
I'm standing on redemption ground.
Chorus
Redemption ground, the ground of peace!
Redemption ground, O wondrous grace!
Here let our praise to God abound,
Who saves us on redemption ground!
Verse 3
O joyous hour when God to me
A vision gave of Calvary!
My bonds were loosed, my soul unbound:
I sang upon redemption ground.
Chorus
Redemption ground, the ground of peace!
Redemption ground, O wondrous grace!
Here let our praise to God abound,
Who saves us on redemption ground!
Verse 4
No works of merit now I plead,
But Jesus take for all my need;
No righteousness in me is found,
Except upon redemption ground.
Chorus
Redemption ground, the ground of peace!
Redemption ground, O wondrous grace!
Here let our praise to God abound,
Who saves us on redemption ground!
Verse 5
Come, weary soul, and here find rest;
Accept redemption, and be blest:
The Christ who died, by God is crowned
To pardon on redemption ground.
Chorus
Redemption ground, the ground of peace!
Redemption ground, O wondrous grace!
Here let our praise to God abound,
Who saves us on redemption ground!
