Author: H. L. Hymnal: Evangelistic Songs #41 (1927) First Line: O captive soul by sin oppress'd Refrain First Line: He sets the captive free, glory to His name Lyrics: 1 O captive soul by sin oppress’d,
How long your heart has sighed for rest,
Lift up your eyes for God is near
To set you free from bondage drear.
Refrain:
He sets the captive free, glory to His name,
Gives perfect liberty, O glory to His name!
The prison doors must quake and chains of sin will break
When Jesus sets the captive free.
2 The galling yoke so hard to bear,,
Has borne you down to dark despair,
Lift up your voice, on Jesus call,
His mighty arm can conquer all. [Refrain]
3 He came to set the captive free,
To ring the bells of liberty,
He came to heal the broken heart
And needed grace to you impart. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O captive soul by sin oppressed]
He Sets the Captive Free
