Captain, God of our salvation, bought so dear

Verse 1
Captain, God of our salvation
Bought so dear on Calvary,
While we call to mind thy passion,
Thou for good remember me:
In the bread for sinners broken
Thou mine unbelief remove,
Give my trembling heart a token
Of thy free redeeming love.

Verse 2
That my fears may all be over,
May with sin forever cease,
To a drooping soul discover
Thou art still my Life my Peace;
Take away this inward blindness,
That I may my Saviour know,
Conscious of thy loving-kindness
Hold, and never let thee go.
