My Redeemer

A shocking train accident caused the untimely death of Philip P. Bliss when he was only thirty-eight years of age. He had visited his old childhood home in Rome, Pennsylvania, at Christmas time in 1876, and returning to Chicago in company with his wife when a railroad bridge near Ashtabula, Ohio, collapsed. The train plunged into a ravine, sixty feet below, where it caught fire, and one hundred passengers perished miserably. Bliss survived the fall, and escaped through a window. However, he returned to the wreckage in an attempt to rescue his wife and in so doing perished with her in the fire. This hymn text was found in his trunk.

Fr-om the curse to se-t me free.

verse 2

I will tell the wondrous story,
How, my Lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ranson freely gave.

I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant pow'r I'll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin and death and hell.

verse 4

I will sing of my Redeemer
And His heav'nly love to me,
He from death to life hath bro't me,
Son of God, with Him to be.
