Love’s Redeeming Work Is Done by Charles Wesley SAVANNAH—C-b, Herrnhut, c. 1740 Love’s Redeeming Work Is Done 1 Love’s redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won. Death in vain forbids him rise; Christ has opened paradise. 2 Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Once he died our souls to save, Where thy victory, O grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like him, like him we rise, Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
