Hymn redeemed by the blood of the lamb

Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!

Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;

Redeemed through His infinite mercy,

His child and forever I am.

Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;

Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am.

Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,

No language my rapture can tell;

I know that the light of His presence

With me doth continually dwell.

Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;

Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am.

I think of my blessed Redeemer,

I think of Him all the day long:

I sing, for I cannot be silent;

His love is the theme of my song.

Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;

Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am.

I know there's a crown that is waiting,

In yonder bright mansion for me,

And soon, with the spirits made perfect,

At home with the Lord I shall be.

Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;

Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am.

Frances Jane Crosby was born March 24, 1820, in South East Putnam County, N.Y. Her parents were John and Mercy Crosby. She was a normal baby, but when she was 6 weeks old, she caught a cold, and her family sent for the local doctor.

The story is told that her doctor was away, and another man, who was practicing medicine, came to her home. Because her eyes were inflamed, he recommended a mustard poultice be placed on her eyes. Her mother objected but was told by the doctor that this was the only treatment that would cure her. She gave in and the results are history.

After the neighbors heard that Baby Jane Crosby had been blinded, they investigated the doctor and found that he was practicing without a license. Before he could be arrested, he fled, never to be heard from again.

Another story says a neighbor tried to help the child and applied the poultices. Regardless of who blinded Fanny Crosby (as she became known), she felt like it was God’s will and never held a trace of resentment against the one who blinded her.

Fanny’s father died when she was 1 year old. Her mother and grandmother raised her. When Fanny was 8 years old, her family moved to Ridgefield, Connecticut. They lived there four years. At the age of 15, she entered the New York Institution for the Blind and received a great education.

Upon her graduation in 1847, she became a teacher in the institution at the age of 27. She taught English grammar, Roman and American history. During summer vacations, she wrote secular music that was a tremendous hit for the bands of that day.

Although she was taught the Bible from birth by her mother and grandmother, she did not make a commitment to Christ until 1851. She was 31. This was in a revival meeting at the old St. John Street Methodist Church in New York.

Fanny had a crush on a classmate, Alexander Van Alystne, who majored in music, and at the age of 38 in 1858, they were married. Alexander became the music teacher at the Institute for the Blind. Both he and Fanny taught there several years. They were married for 34 years, and had one child, Frances, who died while an infant. Fanny’s husband Van Alstyne died in 1902.

Fanny wrote her first hymn in 1864 at the age of 44 when her friend William Bradbury requested that she write a hymn for him to set to music. She is credited with writing over 8,000 poems, 5,500 of which were set to music by the best composers of that time. She is said to have written seven or more hymns in one day. There were times when she would hear a hymn during a revival service, and ask someone who wrote it only to find out that she did.

With so many songs to her credit, she could not remember all of the ones she wrote. She wrote some of the greatest hymns ever written for the Protestant churches, including “All the Way My Savior Leads Me,” “A Shelter in the Time of Storms,” “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” “Close to Thee” and her most popular and best loved hymn, “Blessed Assurance.”

The music for “Reedeemed, How I Love To Proclaim It” was written by William J. Kirkpatrick. He was born Feb. 27, 1838, in Duncannon, Pennsylvania.

William was the son of a schoolteacher and musician. He grew up in a musical atmosphere. He moved to Philadelphia in 1854 to study music and to learn a trade. He worked for three years as a carpenter, but his real interest was in music. He spent his leisure time studying music. He always wanted to become a violinist.

In 1855, Kirkpatrick joined the Wharton Street Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, and from that day on, he devoted himself mostly to sacred music. He worked with the Sunday school program and directed the choir. Very few churches had organs in that day, so he used his violin and cello during choir programs, singing societies and other church programs.

During that time, he wrote several unpublished hymn tunes and anthems. He studied voice under Professor T. Bishop, then a leading vocal instructor. He became a member of the Harmonia and Handel and Haydn sacred music societies. He published his first music in 1858. He went on to publish about 50 hymn collections with the aid of John Sweney.
