Sing the dear Saviour's glorious fame,
Who bears the Breaker's wondrous name
Sweet name! and it becomes him well,
Who breaks down sin, guilt, death and hell.
A mighty Breaker sure is he;
He broke my chains and set me free;
A gracious Breaker to my soul;
He breaks, and O, he makes me whole!
He breaks through every gloomy cloud,
Which can my soul with darkness shroud;
He breaks the bars of every snare,
Which hellish foes for me prepare:
He breaks the gates of hardened brass,
To bring his faithful word to pass;
And though with ponderous iron barred,
The Breaker's love they can't retard.
Great Breaker, O, thy love impart!
Daily to break my stony heart;
O, break it Lord, and enter in,
And break, O, break the power of sin!
