Sing Redeeming Love

In Alma 5:9, Alma 5:26, Alma 26:13, another non-biblical phrase, refers to a hymn, “Lord’s Day Morning” from 1816, 1821, 1826:

• All hail, auspicious Morn, On which the Saviour rose;
• Victorious over sin and death, And all our hellish foes.
• The triumphs of this day, Demand a cheerful song;
• Vast as the sacred name we sing, From all the ransom’d throng.
• Then let my soul arise,
• Nor longer sluggish lie,
• Loud hallelujahs shall ascend, And reach the lofty skies.
• Adieu, ye joys of sense, Be banish’d from my mind ;
• This soul would find no room for you, Her joy is more refin’d.
• My ransom’d soul would sit, And sing redeeming love;
• Till Death should terminate my song, And she ascend above,
• To see her risen Lord, In all his glory shine;
• Mix with the millions round the throne, And join the theme divine.
• Nor Sin, nor Death, nor Hell,
• Nor grief, nor fear, nor pains,
• Shall e’er molest that happy place,
• There Christ triumphant reigns.

See also the hymn entitled “Redeeming love deserves a song,” in an 1811 Universalist Hymn-Book.
