O redeemed, redeemed,
  I'm wash'd in the blood of the Lamb.

1. Although you see me going along so,
     Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
   I have my trials here below,
     Washed in the blood of the Lamb.[1]

2. When I was a mourner just like you,
     Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
   I mourned and prayed till I got through,
     Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
       O redeemed, redeemed.

3. Religion's like a blooming rose,
     Washed in the blood of the Lamb,
   As none but those that feel it knows,
     Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
       O redeemed, redeemed.
