Giver of True Liberty

Philip Doddridge • English

Primary Scripture: Zechariah 9:11

Verse 1

Hark! for 'tis God's own Son that calls To life and liberty; Transported, fall before his feet, Who makes the prisoners free.

Verse 2

The cruel bonds of sin he breaks, He sunders Satan's chain: And, smiling, deals those pardons round Which free from endless pain.

Verse 3

Into the captive heart he pours His Spirit from on high; We lose the terrors of the slave, And "Abba, Father," cry.

Verse 4

Shake off your bonds and sing his grace, The sinner's Friend proclaim, And call on all around to seek True freedom by his name.
