[Hail, all-redeeming Lord]

They laid their hands on Him, and took Him. —xiv. 46.

Hail, all-redeeming Lord,
Through earth and heaven adored,
Seized by sacrilegious hands,
Jesus, Thy captivity
Looses all our slavish bands,
Sets imprison'd spirits free.
Thou by Thy foes confined
Enlargest all mankind;
Liberty from sin and pain,
Lo, we by Thy bonds receive,
Glorious liberty obtain,
Liberty with God to live.
