Mark 14:46: Hail, all-redeeming Lord

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Hail, all-redeeming Lord,
Through earth and heaven adored,
Seized by sacrilegious hands,
Jesus, Thy captivity
Looses all our slavish bands.
Sets imprison'd spirits free.

Thou by Thy foes confined
Enlargest all mankind;
Liberty from sin and pain,
Lo, we by Thy bonds receive,
Glorious liberty obtain.
Liberty with God to live.
