1 "Op'ner of the blinded eyes!"
Mid the night of death arise.
"Binder of the broken heart!"
Ballam to the soul impart.
2 "Giver of the oil of joy!"
Mourning from the earth destroy.
"Raiser up of Jacob's race!"
Save the world of man, by grace.
3 "Saviour God, and God the just!"
On thine arm shall nations trust.
"Gath'rer of the outcasts' home!"
In Salvation's chariots, come.
4 "Lib'ral soul, devising good!"
Sinners wash in thy own blood.
"Taker of the vail away!"
Lead us to eternal day.
5 "Man of sorrows, man of grief!"
May thy wounds impart relief.
"Leader, witness, cov'nant God!"
Rule the world with mercy's rod.
6 "Op'ner of the prison door!"
Captives to thy light restore.
"Judge, lawgiver, King of men!"
Come, in glory, come again.
