[In unbelief imprison'd fast]

I am so fast in prison, that I cannot get forth. —lxxxviii. 8.

In unbelief imprison'd fast,
Far from the sight of day,
I cannot struggle forth, or cast
My chains of sin away;
Jesus, Thou know'st I cannot please,
Or serve the living God,
Till Thou my helpless soul release
Through Thy redeeming blood.
