Lyrics

Jesus, bid the chains be broke (Ezek. 34:27)
Which hold us bound within,
By thy Spirit destroy the yoke, (Ezek. 34:27)
The heart-oppressing sin, (II Cor. 3:17)
To full liberty restor’d, (Ezek. 34:27, Gal. 5:1, John 8:36)
Renew’d in all our ransom’d powers
Then we know thou art the Lord (Ezek. 34:27)
Thro’ endless ages ours.
