Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 First Line: Rebels, who had dared to show Lyrics: 1 Rebels, who had dared to show
Proud contempt of God Most High,
Bound in iron and in woe,
Shades of death and darkness night,
Humbled low with toil and pain,
Fell, and looked for help in vain.
2 To Jehovah then they cried
In their trouble, and He saved,
Threw the prison open wide
Where they lay to death enslaved,
Bade the gloomy shadows flee,
Broke their bonds and set them free.
3 Sons of men, awake to praise
God the Lord Who reigns above,
Gracious in His works and ways,
Wondrous in redeeming love;
Iron bars He breaks like clay,
And the brazen gates give way.
