Lutheran Hymnal: 074 - Enslaved by Sin, and Bound in Chains

1 Enslaved by sin, and bound in chains, Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway, And doomed to everlasting pains, We wretched, guilty captives lay. 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace, Nor could the world’s collected store Suffice to purchase our release; A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 Jesus, the Lord, the mighty God, An all-sufficient ransom paid; O matchless price! His precious blood For vile, rebellious traitors shed. 4 Jesus the sacrifice became To rescue guilty souls from hell; The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb Beneath avenging justice fell. 5 Amazing goodness! Love divine! O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace; nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more.
