Verse 1
Sinners, ye all remain
Fetter’d, and close confined;
Sin is the iron chain
That doth your spirit bind,
Your conscience is the dungeon foul,
Satan your goaler [gaoler/jailer] stands,
And watches, least one guilty soul
Escape out of his hands.
Verse 2
But Jesus Christ is He
That hath a ransom found,
And preaches liberty
To souls in prison bound:
His blood shall make your conscience clean,
Cast down your hellish foe,
Break all the manacles of sin,
And let the captives go.
