Prisoners of Hope, Arise

Prisoners of hope

arise

And see your Lord ap­pear;

Lo! on the wings of love He flies

And brings re­demp­tion near!

Redemption in His blood

He calls you to re­ceive:

Come un­to Me

the par­don­ing God.

Believe

He cries

be­lieve!

The re­con­cil­ing word

We thank­ful­ly em­brace;

Rejoice in our re­deem­ing Lord

A blood be­sprink­led race:

We yield to be set free

Thy coun­sel we ap­prove;

Salvation

praise

as­cribe to Thee

And glo­ry in Thy love.

Jesus

to Thee we look

Till saved from sin’s re­mains;

Reject the in­bred ty­rant’s yoke

And cast away his chains:

Our na­ture shall no more

O’er us do­min­ion have;

By faith we ap­pre­hend the pow­er

Which shall for­ev­er save.

In sure and stead­fast hope

To be re­deemed be­low

On to the ho­ly mount­ain’s top

We all ex­ult­ing go:

We shall the prize re­ceive

We shall be all re­newed

Regain Thine im­age here

and live

The sin­less life of God.
