Lyrics

A captive poor, despis’d, and bound (Acts 21:33, II Cor. 11:23-27)
His entry into Rome he makes, (Acts 28:16)
Yet greater far than victors crown’d, (II Tim. 4:7-8)
Whom Jesus for his servant takes! (Rom. 1:1, Gal. 1:10)
The plagues and scourges of mankind,
They forc’d the slaves their yoke to feel;
But Paul is come the world t’ unbind, (Acts 13:47)
And triumph o’re the hosts of hell. (Phil. 1:12-14, II Tim. 2:9, Eph. 6:12)
