Prisoners of hope, arise, and see your Lord appear; Lo! on the wings of love He flies, and brings redemption near; Redemption in His blood He calls you to receive: “Look unto Me, the pardoning God. Believe,” He cries, “believe!” The reconciling word, we thankfully embrace; Rejoice in our redeeming Lord, a blood besprinkled race. We yield to be set free; Thy counsel we approve; Salvation, praise, ascribe to Thee, and glory in Thy love. Jesus, to Thee we look, till saved from sin’s remains; Reject the inbred tyrant’s yoke, and cast away his chains. Our nature shall no more over us dominion have; By faith we apprehend the power which shall forever save. |
