Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XCIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns First Line: Hark! for 'tis God's own son that calls Lyrics: 1 Hark! for 'tis God's own son that calls
To life and liberty;
Transported fall before his feet,
Who makes the prisoners free.
2 The cruel bonds of sin he breaks,
He sunders Satan's chain;
Smiling he deals those pardons round,
Which free from endless pain.
3 Into the captive heart he pours
His spirit from on high;
We lose the terrors of the slave,
And Abba, father, cry.
4 Shake off your bonds, and sing his grace;
The sinner's friend proclaim;
And call on all around to seek
True freedom by his name.
5 Walk on at large, till you attain
Your father's house above;
There shall you wear immortal crowns,
And sing immortal love. Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Adoption; Spiritual Liberty Scripture: John 8:36 Languages: English
