8,7,8,7,8,8,7,7.
by J.C. Jacobi
Jesus, Captain of salvation,
Conqueror both of death and hell!
Thou who didst as sin’s oblation,
Feel what Thou alone couldst feel:
Through Thy suff’rings, death and merit,
We eternal bliss inherit,
Thousand thousand thanks to Thee,
“For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” (Hebrews 2:10)
“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:18)
