The Savior's Captive

Verse 1

Jesu, thou art our king, To me thy succour bring; Christ, the mighty one art thou, Help for all on thee is laid; This the word, I claim it now, Send me now the promis'd aid.

Verse 2

High on thy father's throne, O look with pity down; Help, O help! attend my call, Captive lead captivity: King of glory, Lord of all, Christ, be Lord, be King to me.

Verse 3

I pant to feel thy sway, And only thee t' obey: Thee my spirit gasps to meet; This my one my ceaseless pray'r, Make, O make my heart thy seat! O set up thy kingdom there!

Verse 4

Triumph and reign in me, And spread thy victory: Hell, and death, and sin controul, Pride, and wrath, and ev'ry foe, All subdue: through all my soul Conqu'ring and to conquer go!
