‘Twas Jesus, my Saviour,
who died on the tree,
To open a fountain
for sinners like me;
His blood is that fountain
which pardon bestows,
And cleanses the foulest
wherever it flows.
For the lion of Judah
shall break every chain,
And give us the vict’ry,
again and again.
And when I was willing
with all things to part,
He gave me His blessing,
His love in my heart;
So now I am joined
with the conquering band
Who are marching
to glory at Jesus’ command.
For the lion of Judah
shall break every chain,
And give us the vict’ry,
again and again.
Though round me the storms
of adversity roll,
And the waves of destruction
encompass my soul;
In vain this frail vessel
the tempest shall toss—
My hope is secure
through the blood of the cross.
For the lion of Judah
shall break every chain,
And give us the vict’ry,
again and again.
And when with the ransomed,
by Jesus, my Head,
From fountain to fountain
I then shall be led;
I’ll fall at His feet
and His mercy adore,
And sing Hallelujah
to God evermore.
For the lion of Judah
shall break every chain,
And give us the vict’ry,
again and again.
