Hail, all-redeeming Lord, Through earth and heaven adored

Verse 1
Hail all-redeeming Lord
Thro’ earth and heaven ador’d!
Seiz’d by sacrilegious hands,
Jesus, thy captivity
Looses all our slavish bands,
Sets imprison’d spirits free.

Verse 2
Thou by thy foes confin’d
Inlargest all mankind,
Liberty from sin and pain
Lo, we by thy bonds receive,
Glorious liberty obtain,
Liberty with God to live.
