The Ransom
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:2 First Line: I come, the great Redeemer cries Lyrics: 1 "I come," the great redeemer cries,
"A year of freedom to declare,
"From debts and bondage to discharge,
"And Jews and Greeks the grace shall share:
2 "A day of vengeance I proclaim,
"But not on man the storm shall fall,
"On me its thunder shall descend;
"My strength, my love sustain them all."
3 Stupendous favor! matchless grace!
Jesus has dy'd that we might live;
Not worlds below, or worlds above
Could so divine a ransom give.
4 To him, who lov'd our ruin'd race,
And for our lives laid down his own,
Let songs of joyful praises rise,
Sublime, eternal as his throne.

When the King Shall Come Again
Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again
all his power revealing;
splendor shall announce his reign,
life and joy and healing:
earth no longer in decay,
hope no more frustrated;
this is God's redemption day
longingly awaited.
2 In the desert trees take root,
fresh from God's creation;
plants and flowers and sweetest fruit
join the celebration.
Rivers spring up from the earth,
barren lands adorning:
valleys, this is your new birth;
mountains, greet the morning!
3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees;
fainting hearts, be cheerful!
God who comes for such as these,
seeks and saves the fearful.
Deaf ears hear the silent tongues
sing away their weeping;
blind eyes see the lifeless ones
walking, running, leaping.
4 There God's highway shall be seen
where no roaring lion,
nothing evil or unclean
walks the road to Zion:
ransomed people, homeward bound,
all your praises voicing,
see your Lord with glory crowned,
share in his rejoicing!

turning blindness into sight.

healing every dread disease,
calming storms and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.

with a strong yet gentle word.

with a piercing two edged sword.
Praise the one who brings cool water
to the desert's burning sand.
From this well comes living water
quenching thirst in every land.

Christ who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
that we may know God by grace.

We've waited long for thee,
With haling in thy wings,
To set thy people free.
Come, thou desire of nations, come;
Come, thou desire of nations, come;
Let Israel now be gathered home.
2 Come make an end of sin,
And cleanse the earth by fire;
And righteousness bring in
That saints may tune the lyre,
With songs of joy, a happier strain,
With songs of joy, a happier strain,
To welcome in thy peaceful reign.
3 Hosannas now shall sound
From all the ransomed throng,
And glory echo round
A new triumphal song.
The wide expanse of heaven fill,
The wide expanse of heaven fill
With anthems sweet from Zion's hill.
4 Hail! Prince of life and peace!
Thrice welcome to thy throne!
While all the chosen race
Their Lord and Savior own.
The heathen nations bow the knee;
The heathen nations bow the knee,
And every tongue gives praise to thee.
