Monday Meditation: The Lion Of Judah Shall Break Every Chain

 

When Christ the righteous Judge shall appear sin will have its eternal 
reward in hell. "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun 
 in the kingdom of their Father."
(Matthew 13:43)

Twas Jesus, my Savior, who died on the tree,

To open a fountain for sinners like me;

His blood is that fountain which pardon bestows,

And cleanses the foulest wherever it flows.

For the Lion of Judah shall break every chain,

And give us the victory, again and again. 

And when I was willing with all things to part, 

He gave me His blessing, His love in my heart;

So now I am joined with the conquering band

Who are marching to glory with Jesus' command. 

For the Lion of Judah shall break every chain,

And give us the victory, again and again.

Tho' round me the storms of adversity roll,

And the waves of destruction encompasses my soul;

In vain this frail vessel the tempest shall toss-

My hope is secure through the blood of the cross.

For the Lion of Judah shall break every chain,

And give us the victory, again and again.

And when with the ransomed, by Jesus, my head,

From fountain to fountain I then shall be led;

I'll fall at His feet and His mercy adore,

And sing Hallelujah to God evermore.

For the Lion of Judah shall break every chain,

And give us the victory, again and again.
