Satan Confined in Massy Chains

lyricist: Benjamin Beddome (1717–1795)
Composer: Grenoble Antiphoner, 1753

Satan con­fined in mas­sy chains

And doomed to ev­er­last­ing pains

The aw­ful ven­geance dreads and feels

Which the al­migh­ty Thun­der­er deals.

No more can he ob­tain his will

No more his dark de­signs ful­fill;

How great so­e’er his strength may be

Yet Christ is strong­er far than he.

Christ breaks in twain his ir­on bands

And res­cues cap­tives from his hands;

Treads him be­neath their fee­ble feet

And makes their vic­to­ry com­plete.

Exult

ye saints

your voic­es raise

And shout your great de­liv­er­er’s praise;

Let ev­ery tongue and ev­ery tribe

Salvation to the Lamb as­cribe.
