[Adorable captivity]

Then the band and the captain and officers, &c. —xviii. 12.

Adorable captivity
Which sets a world of prisoners free
From sin and Satan's iron chain!
Our souls Thou offerest to release;
Pardon and liberty and peace
We all may through Thy bonds obtain.
Jesus, Thy dear redeeming grace
By faith we thankfully embrace,
Enjoy our perfect freedom here,
Servants of righteousness we rise,
As sons of God regain the skies,
As heirs at Thy right hand appear.
