1 He is able to deliver
From the cruel yoke of sin,
From the galling chains that bind thee,
From the pow’r of guilt within.
“Call Him Jesus.” Blessed thought!
Christ has full deliv’rance brought.

2 He is able to deliver
When thy all on Him is cast;
He is able to deliver,
If thy faith but hold Him fast.
From the tyrant’s fearful power
Christ can save this very hour.

3 He is able to deliver,
He is willing; trust Him now;
Seek this uttermost salvation,
At the throne of mercy bow.
Christ a full deliv’rance brings;
Glory to the King of kings!
