When, doomed to death, the Apostle lay

Author: W. C. Bryant Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #279 (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When, doomed to death, th'Apostle lay Lyrics: 1 When, doomed to death, th'Apostle lay At night in Herod's dungeon cell, A light shone round him like the day, And from his limbs the fetters fell. 2 A messenger from God was there, To break his chain and bid him rise; And lo! the saint, as free as air, Walked forth beneath the open skies. 3 Chains yet more strong and cruel bind The victim of that deadly thirst Which drowns the soul, and from the mind Blots the bright image stamped at first. 4 O God of love and mercy, deign To look on those with pitying eye Who struggle with that fatal chain, And send them succor from on high! 5 Send down, in its resistless might, Thy gracious Spirit, we implore, And lead the captive forth to light, A rescued soul, a slave no more! Amen. Topics: Temperance; Temperance Languages: English Tune Title: [When doomed to death th'Apostle lay]
