The Dominion of Sin Destroyed

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Zechariah 9:12

Verse 1

Prisoners of hope, arise, and see your Lord appear; Lo! on the wings of love He flies, and brings redemption near; Redemption in His blood He calls you to receive: Look unto Me, the pardoning God. Believe, He cries, believe!

Verse 2

The reconciling word, we thankfully embrace; Rejoice in our redeeming Lord, a blood besprinkled race. We yield to be set free; Thy counsel we approve; Salvation, praise, ascribe to Thee, and glory in Thy love.

Verse 3

Jesus, to Thee we look, till saved from sin’s remains; Reject the inbred tyrant’s yoke, and cast away his chains. Our nature shall no more over us dominion have; By faith we apprehend the power which shall forever save.
