49. Christ Delivered Us When Bound | 7s. |
| by Cowper, 1779 |
|

|
| 1 | Christ delivered us when bound, | Romans 7:6; Luke 10:30-35; Luke 19:10; 1 Peter 2:9 |
| And, when wounded, healed our wound, |
| Sought us wandering, set us right, |
| Turned our darkness into light. |
|
| 2 | Can a mother's tender care | Isaiah 49:15 |
| Cease towards the child she bare? |
| Yes, she may forgetful prove, |
| He will never cease to love. |
|
| 3 | His is an unchanging love, | Malachi 3:6; Ephesians 3:18-19; Song of Solomon 8:6 |
| Higher than the heights above, |
| Deeper than the depths beneath, |
| Free and faithful, strong as death. |
|
| 4 | We shall see His glory soon, | 1 Peter 4:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:3; 2 Thessalonians 1:11; Revelation 3:21 |
| When the work of grace is done, |
| Partners of His throne above; |
| Such to us His wondrous love! |
|
| 5 | This alone is our complaint, | 1 John 4:19 |
| That our love is weak and faint; |
| Yet we love Him, and adore, |
| Oh for grace to love Him more! |
