Christ delivered us when bound

Christ delivered us when bound

Published in 2 hymnals


Representative Text

1 Christ delivered us when bound,
And, when wounded, healed our wound,
Sought us wand'ring, set us right,
Turned our darkness into light.

2 Can a mother's tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may foregetful prove,
He will never cease to love.

3 His is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.

4 We shall see His glory soon,
When the work of grace is done,
Partners of His throne above;
Such to us His wondrous love!

5 This alone is our complaint,
That our love is weak and faith;
Yet we love Him and advore,
Oh for grace to love Him more!
