Leading us triumphantly;
’Tis life, and health, and peace.
’Tis life, and health, and peace.
Arise, Barak, and lead
To the height, He led
He has sent Me to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted,
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, jubilee.
He healed the broken-hearted
And dragged him through the sky,
You conquered the grave
Pardon our offences,
The new covenant ministers
Pointing to the Lamb.
Once in sin I served, a slave, in pain, by sin tormented;
What were we when mer­cy found us?
And to Christ, gone up on high,

Captive

Showing forth Your victory.
His captive would I be,
His captive would I be,
(Repeat)
Captive and gave gifts to men.
And the opening of the eyes to those,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
He made the lame to walk again
That man no more may die.
Oh God, You have done great things
Break down every idol
Defeated and subdued by Christ
Boldly wit­ness­ing;
Struggling vainly to escape, sad groans and sighs I vented,
Clouds and dark­ness closed around us,
All His work and war­fare done,

Lord, You are the General
