Jesus, Burst My Bonds Asunder

By N. D. Anderson

(A Hymn)
By N. D. Anderson
Jesus, burst my bonds asunder; Long in sin they've held me fast; Loose me, that the world may wonder At Thy love and mercy vast.
Gracious Lord, I thought Thee vanquished When they hanged Thee on the tree, And I mocked Thy pleading anguished, “Father, hast forsaken Me!”
Then it was that Satan bound me In the loathsome dungeon deep, Where Thy loving-kindness found me Suffering in my troubled sleep.
Jesus, burst my bonds asunder, Thrust my prison doors apart, Not with lightning, not with thunder, But Thy faith within my heart.
