Jesus a captive made
To set the captives free,
Haste to a sinner's aid,
Exert the power in me
Which cannot be by man confined,
The power which ransoms all mankind.
To set the captives free,
Haste to a sinner's aid,
Exert the power in me
Which cannot be by man confined,
The power which ransoms all mankind.
The slave of hell and sin,
Lord I to Thee complain:
O make me free within
From pride, and passion's chain,
My spirit by Thy bonds release,
And bid me go in perfect peace.
