Rejoice in Ransom Paid

Sweet and perfect peace

From life’s fleeting breath

Take her home forever

Where there is peace and rest


To know her Lord and Savior

In fullness so complete

Not in simple contrast

To sin and suffering


It was needful for a time

To travel in this world

But now this task is over

And all beauty is unfurled


Love unselfish, pure and strong

Praise produced in forms of song

Flawless worship to her sovereign King

Christ in fullness she now sees


Rejoice all people with her

For this glorious hope

That Christ has paid the ransom

And cleanses with His blood


Bow the knee

Make Him King

Rest in faith—His work complete

Then Christ, your Savior, you shall see
