I am looking for the lyrics to a hymn. I'm not sure of the title but I have lyrics to one verse.

"Redeemed and now I'm free
All Glory To His Name
Jesus Reached Down
In The gutter of sin and shame
To save a wretched soul
From a life of misery
New life is mine since Jesus set me free"

Would like to have the rest of the lyrics
or maybe it's just a chorus

What sound does it have-- big church choir or Sankey-song for a revival? Denominational hymnal or singing school booklet? What denomination? Recent composition or vintage?

Where/when had you heard it or about it?

There's a video (no pictures, just sound) on YouTube of these words being sung over and over. There don't seem to be any other lyrics. Perhaps Guest could contact the poster on YouTube for more info.

There is a hymn called "New Life Is Mine,"
however it is a different lyric than the OP.

There seems to be some connection with the Salvation Army,
and a Canada location called
Lower Island Cove
and its "Spiritual Café" outreach.

There are verses, in addition to the above chorus,
in this video by
Audrey Randell.

To reiterate:
the most complete version of the hymn requested in the OP
is in a homemade video by Audrey Randell from Newfoundland.
In her version,
the text printed in this thread's OP
is the CHORUS,
and the opening line of this chorus
is, according to Mrs. Randell's video,
the song title.

Mrs. Randell's performance consists of
two separate verses, each followed by
the text in the OP.

It might be safe to presume that Mrs. Randell
is the author/composer of this song.

Her video is from her Facebook page.

REDEEMED AND NOW I'M FREE

Chorus: Redeemed and now I'm free, oh glory to His name
Jesus reached down, in the gutter of sin and shame
To save a wretched soul, from a life of misery
New life is mine, since Jesus set me free

Verse 1: Alone in life's dark valley, I was known to be
Sin and heavy burdens, they were pressing me
When a bruised and bleeding nail scared hand, reached down outstretched for me
He put me on a mountain top, redeemed and now I'm free

Verse 2: I tarried all these precious years in vanity each day
I didn't even take the time, to listen or to pray
But Jesus mercy found me, He touched my eyes to see
He put me on a mountain top, redeemed and now I'm free

Thanks for writing that out, GUEST. I can't be certain where the above transcription came from, but it matches this Facebook video (published by Bayview Pentecostal Tabernacle on March 17th, 2021) pretty closely. The performer, Pastor Gary Bartlett, wrote that he couldn't recall with certainty who wrote it, but believed it was written by a gentleman named Luther Lander, from Labrador, Canada "some years ago."
