Acts 8:23: Thou art in...the bond of iniquity

Sinners, ye all remain
Fetter'd and close confined;
Sin is the iron chain
That doth your spirits bind,
Your conscience is the dungeon foul,
Satan your jailer stands,
And watches lest one guilty soul
Escape out of his hands.

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.

Lo, the thing impossible
Is by the' Almighty done,
God doth to the rich reveal
And make salvation known!
Courtiers, ministers of state,
Resolved to cast the world behind,
Willing in His house to wait,
Shall their Redeemer find.
