1 Satan confined in massy chains,
And doomed to everlasting pains,
The awful vengeance dreads and feels,
Which the almighty Thunderer deals.
2 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.
3 Christ breaks in twain his iron bands,
And rescues captives from his hands;
Treads him beneath their feeble feet,
And makes their victory complete.
4 Exult, ye saints, your voices raise,
And shout your great deliverer’s praise;
Let every tongue and every tribe,
Salvation to the Lamb ascribe.
