Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!
“Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!” is a hymn bursting with gratitude. Every line sings with joy over what Christ has done — not just saving us, but claiming us as His own. It’s a personal song, not just about redemption in theory, but about living as someone who has been bought with a price and brought into the family of God.
The Story Behind the Hymn
This hymn was written by Fanny J. Crosby in 1882, a woman who never tired of writing about her Redeemer. Though she was blind from infancy, her vision of God's grace was clear and deep. This hymn reflects her personal assurance — she didn’t just know about redemption, she lived in it. Her words aren’t quiet or reserved; they’re full of bold celebration.
The tune, written by William J. Kirkpatrick, is light and joyful, perfectly matching Crosby’s lyrics. Together, they created a hymn that invites every believer to sing boldly of what Christ has done.
What Makes It Powerful
This hymn is about identity — being marked by the love of Christ. It’s not just about what we’re saved from, but what we’re saved for. It emphasizes a close, ongoing relationship with Jesus, not as a distant Savior, but as a present Redeemer and Friend.
A verse that echoes this truth is Isaiah 43:1 (NIV):
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”
That’s what this hymn proclaims — not just that we are forgiven, but that we are His.
My Violin Cover
When I arranged “Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!” for violin, I leaned into the brightness of the melody. It’s a joyful song, so I kept the pace upbeat and the tone clear. Every phrase is meant to sound like a smile — not rushed, but filled with energy and light.
With Violin Hymns, I try to bring out the heart of each piece. This one is about belonging, and the peace and joy that come from knowing you are redeemed.
Listen and Reflect
The video is below. As you listen, let your heart join in the celebration. If you’re in Christ, you are redeemed — not halfway, not temporarily, but fully and forever. Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus — no language my rapture can tell.
Lyrics
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, how I love to proclaim it!
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.
I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight,
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.
If you get there before I do,
Coming for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends I’m coming too,
Coming for to carry me home.
I’m sometimes up and sometimes down,
Coming for to carry me home,
But still my soul feels heavenly bound,
Coming for to carry me home.
