Prisoners of sin and satan too.
The Saviour calls, he calls for you;
Ye, who have sold yourselves for nought
Jesus your liberty hath bought.
He came to set the captives free;
He came to publish liberty;
To bind the broken hearted up,
And give despairing sinners hope.
Prisoners of hope, why will you die?
Why from the only refuge fly?
Jesus, our hiding place and tower.
Invites the guilty and the poor.
He came to comfort all that mourn;
He sweetly says to sinners, turn;
Prisoners of hope, his voice attend,
Nor slight the calls of such a friend.
The great Redeemer lived and died;
The Prince of life was crucified ;
He shed his own most precious blood
To purchase captive souls to God.
To this redeeming God be given
Immortal praise by earth and heaven;
Prisoners of hope, the Saviour bless,
And ev'ry hour his love confess.
