I Trust in my Redeemer's Name

It was in the watches of the night I thought upon your power,

I kept your lovely face in sight Amidst the darkest hour.

My flesh lay resting on my bed, My soul arose on high:

"Beloved One- my life, my hope-Bring your salvation nigh."

I trust in My Redeemer's name

I trust in my Redeemer's name

He paid my pardon's ransom

He took my guilt and shame

I trust in my Redeemer's name

My spirit longs for heaven's hills, And climbs the heavenly road;

But your right hand upholds me still, You take and bear my load

Your mercy stretches o'er my head The shadow of your wings;

My heart rejoices as I’m led, My tongue awakes and sings.

I trust in My Redeemer's name

I trust in my Redeemer's name

He bore the wrath meant for me

I stand faultless, without blame

I trust in my Redeemer's name

My eyes and my desire and needs Are ever to my Lord;

I love his promises to plead, And rest upon his word.

He won't despise my feeble dust Nor put my hope to shame,

For I have placed my only trust In my Redeemer's name.

I trust in My Redeemer's name

I trust in my Redeemer's name

He arose to make us holy

To seek and save He came

I trust in my Redeemer's name
