[Bound he is, yet truly free]

For the hope of Israel I am bound with, &c. —xxviii. 20.

Bound he is, yet truly free,
Bound for his Redeemer's sake,
Him who suffering on the tree
Did for all atonement make;
Doth to every sinner bring
Pardon in His sprinkled blood,
Christ the Prophet, Priest, and King,
Israel's Hope, and Israel's God.
On this only ground relies
Every soul that faith receives,
Jesus my Redeemer dies,
Jesus my Redeemer lives;
Lives, that I and all mankind
May, to liberty restored,
Fulness of salvation find,
Live for ever with our Lord.
