A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in short meter)
2 Corinthians 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us.
"Deliverer"
1. Thus saith Jehovah's law:
"The soul that sins shall die;"
Soon as our infant breath we draw,
Beneath the curse we lie.
2. No human pow'r, nor price,
Can rescue Satan's slaves;
But Jesus, by His sacrifice,
Delivers, heals, and saves.
3. On wings of heav'nly love,
The great Deliv'rer came;
He left the throne He held above,
To bear the sinner's shame.
4. He, storms of wrath endur'd,
And brake sin's cruel chains;
Deliv'rance for His church secur'd,
And now for ever reigns .
5. Immutable His grace,
He hath, He doth, He will
Deliver all His chosen race,
And they shall praise Him still.
6. My soul on Him relies,
Deliv'rance to obtain:
The soul that trusts Him never dies,
But shall the vict'ry gain.
