Author: Anna Steele Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #63 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Enslaved by sin, and bound in chains,
Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway,
And doomed to everlasting pains,
We wretched guilty captives lay.
2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace;
Nor all the world’s collected store
Suffice to purchase our release;
A thousand worlds were all too poor.
3 Jesus, the Lord, the mighty God,
An all-sufficient ransom paid:
O matchless price! His precious blood
For vile, rebellious traitors shed.
4 Jesus the sacrifice became
To rescue guilty souls from hell;
The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb
Beneath avenging justice fell.
5 Amazing goodness! love divine!
O may our grateful hearts adore
The matchless grace; nor yield to sin,
Nor wear its cruel fetters more! Topics: The Church Year Passion; Second Sunday in Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM (New)
